CWYU member sand activists have been treading the streets the last few weeks campaigning against the election of the most right-wing government that the country has seen since the 1800s as their manifesto and policy statements for the last two years under Theresa May has shown.

The NHS, disabled, pensioners, children and working people are all going to lose and with regard to the NHS, it will not exist in five years time, as May plans to sell off all of the NHS hospitals, buildings and land to American health insurance companies as a prelude to them taking over the NHS totally!

In the final days before ‘judgement day’ the CWU’s North West Regional chair, Carl Webb is calling out to all CWU members, activists and Officers to make a final concerted effort to help defeat Theresa May and the Tory extremists who will hijack this country and turn it into ‘little America’ with no worker’s rights, no pension benefits of any worth and ensure it becomes a tax haven with low wages, poverty and sickness level with the likes of the majority of tax havens around the world.
