Tuesday 15th September 9am-5pm
Support Striking Enterprise Liverpool Workers
Picket, Phone and Email Blockade of Assist-Streetcare
Please pass this on to whatever groups you're involved with:
Six hundred refuse collectors, street cleaners, recycling and highways
staff employed by Liverpool City Council are on strike to protect
wages and conditions. A series of rolling strikes, overtime bans and a
work to rule have not been enough to stop the council using
strike-breaking scabs.
Assist-Streetcare, who already have a number of juicy contracts, have
been supplying workers to Enterprise Liverpool to break the strike.
These workers are been told specifically that they will have to cross
picket lines.
Assist-Streetcare need to understand that although they may be able to
find some people desperate enough for work to scab, there are many
more of us who won't let them get away with it. Assist-Streetcare need
to understand that if they disrupt a strike, we will disrupt their
business.
Join us on Tuesday 15th September 9am to 2pm for a picket, phone and
email blockade of Assist-Streetcare Liverpool

Phone and Email Blockade
From 9am to 5pm we'd like as many people as possible to contact
Streetcare Liverpool as many times as they are able to. We want people
to demand two things:
Streetcare should not supply any extra staff to Enterprise Liverpool
during this dispute.
Streetcare should not to require any of their staff to cross picket lines.
Please spread these phone numbers and email addresses as widely as you
can. In recent disputes in Sheffield and Scotland it has proved
possible to overload and shut down phone switchboard and email systems
using this tactic.

0151 525 0066 – Liverpool office direct.

Feel free to write your own email, but keep it polite, or cut and
paste this statement and send it on:
The ongoing industrial action by workers at Enterprise Liverpool is an
important fight to protect wages and conditions. Assist-Streetcare's
actions in supplying scab workers not only threaten workers in this
dispute, but all of us at a time when wages and conditions are under
attack in many different workplaces.
In support of the striking workers I would ask Assist-Streetcare:
Not to supply any extra staff to Enterprise Liverpool during this dispute.
Not to require any of your workers to cross picket lines.
Thank you very much.
