Working people have had enough. Everything’s going up but our wages.
That’s why this Saturday in London, Napo and thousands of other trade unionists will tell this government: we #DemandBetter #NapoDemandBetter.
If you are planning on attending the march this Saturday, contact Annoesjka Valent at Napo HQ or via Twitter @AnnoesjkaV so that you can march with Napo comrades.
