November 30th will be a massive day of strikes and other actions against attacks on public sector pensions, and against the unelected Coalition Government's austerity cuts in general.

At least 20 unions have now achieved YES votes for strike action, and its believed upto 3 million workers will strike on the day. This is likely to be the biggest day of industrial action since at least the 1970's, a decade in which workers brought down at least 2 governments. Now is the time to bring down this one.

But this isn't just a strike against cuts to public sector pensions, it's a challenge to the Coalition's neoliberal pro-big business agenda of making us pay for their financial crisis. They say cut back, we say fuck that! So if you aren't in a union, or aren't officially on strike, or dont have a job, or are a student - then ring in sick, bunk the day off, skip a class, support the pickets, and join the protests.

In Bristol there will be picket lines from early morning, with a large march meeting at College Green, central Bristol BS1 at 11am sharp, marching to Castle Park for 12.30pm.

There are many other ways to resist the austerity cuts and attacks by the bosses on working, unemployed and unable to work people - banner drops, propaganda, phone & email blockades of corporations and politicians, job centre demos, setting up neighbourhood campaigns & solidarity networks, community kitchens, stopping bailiffs & resisting evictions, lobbying councillors & councils, Occupying everything, and much more. November 30 is neither the start nor finish of the struggle, but a key skirmish in the ongoing class war. It's time to increase the pressure.

Here's a great quote from a feisty scouse trade unionist called Phil Dickens:
"Let's see more strikes, longer strikes, unofficial strikes, spreading in waves across the public and private sector. Let's see roads blockaded, buildings occupied, evictions resisted, and poiticians afraid to go out in public. Let's see every demonstration have an enormous turnout that the police and stewards can't control. Let's see the rank-and-file of the working class break the leash of bureaucrats, officials and would-be vanguards and start a fucking rebellion. I'm striking on N30 because there is only one way to stop the cuts: as long as they're inevitable, make this country ungovernable."
