A national gathering of trade union and community activists called by Finsbury Park RMT and others, in the light of new legislation against illegal working and other ongoing attacks on migrant workers and refugees.
Every day people are being detained and deported.
Every day people are being denied education, health care, the right to work and thrown into destitution because of their immigration status.
Every day people are paid peanuts and made to work in life threatening conditions by unscrupulous employers because of their immigration status.
Every day people die trying to cross borders.
Every day Immigration Officers raid people's homes at dawn and raid migrants at work.
And it is getting worse with new legislation requiring employers to regularly check papers of 'foreigners'.
BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS! If we get together in our workplaces and our communities we can stop this.
To make this happen trade unionists and community activists need to get together to share experiences, develop tactics and networks, find ways of winning trade unions and other organisations to fight these pernicious controls and say No One is Illegal!
So come along to the conference and make this happen.
Speakers include John McDonnell MP, trade union activists, and people who successfully fought back against the immigration system
There will be plenary sessions and workshops and with plenty of time for discussion, including:
- Resisting immigration controls in the workplace
- Access to education, social services, housing & health
- Resisting deportation
- Resisting low pay and poor conditions
- Domestic work
- Sex workers
- Transport industry and immigration controls
- the regularisation debate
There will be a creche. Please let us know if you will be bringing children.
