Dear Unions

We the people of this country are calling on you to help us SAVE the NHS, to give a voice to the old, disable, the poor, the disenfranchised. This government does not respect the people of this country, they have consistently taken money from Social care, education, welfare and pensions. They are punishing the poor to put money into the pockets of the rich. But they have gone too far. We have an unprecedented number of homeless dying in the street and shelters. The country’s pride and joy the NHS is under severe threat, people are dying on trolleys, dying in ambulances waiting outside of A&E. People are dying just waiting for ambulances to arrive.

These people and we who are writing this letter do not have a voice. You could be that voice. To the unions in this country, you have the choice to help the people or help the government to continue with the devastating policies that are bringing this country to its knees.

The silence from the media is deafening, the news programs barely mentions what is really going on. What is the point of the BBC if it refuses to inform the British people about the real state of the country.

All we ask is for0p you to work together and call a General Strike, with the help of the ordinary people on the streets we can TOGETHER bring this country to a standstill and force a General Election. We cannot do it on our own. We can no longer stay quiet while people are dying unnecessarily. We are asking for you to come together and stand with all of us. Please make a choice for the people

The government continues to ignore the corpses piling up in our emergency rooms while they line the pockets of their donors. I am spending every waking hour contacting union leadership to force them out of their paralysis. They cannot hide behind bureaucracy while the public suffers this blatant theft of our healthcare.

The momentum behind this demand is growing because everyone is sick of watching people die while the government lines the pockets of the rich. The unions can no longer hide behind their desks while the NHS collapses before our eyes. We are building a force that they will finally be unable to ignore.

Jackie jones Preston. Stop purposely putting the NHS and people’s lives at stake by underfunding. You work for the people who need these services, do the job this country pays you to do.

We are looking for our Unions to lead a General Strike. At no point do we want to jeopardise patient safety but the reality is People have and are dying due to cuts in resources..orchestrated by Central Government in their plan to privatise YOUR NHS. This is not a reflection of the dedication that the staff have shown to the NHS many driven to tears having tried their best in what can only be seen as impossible working conditions. WE SAY NO MORE. The BBC give little coverage to peaceful mass marches/demonstrations and sadly it has come to a stage when direct action most definitely needs to be considered. PLEAE SHOW YOUR SUPPORT THE UNIONS SHOULD LEAD IN ORDER TO SAFEGUARD OUR STAFF AND THE FUTURE OF THE NHS
