The date of the appeal against the sacking of Bill Tizzard, a steward at Hammersmith Hospital in London, has been set by management for January 24.
A lobby of the appeal beginning a 9.00 on the 24th at the hospital has been called by the Defence Committee, which was set up within the hospital to fight for Tizzard's reinstatement.
The sacking of Tizzard, which coincided with the sackings of the branch secretary and chairman at the nearby West London Hospital amidst a huge press witchhunt, must be seen as a major attack on trade unionism in the Health Servicetimed to disrupt the forthcoming action on pay..
The campaign itself must be broadened to include the dismissed militants at the West London and the fight must be continuously taken up to force action from the NUPE bureaucracy who have the power to circulate branches, call a London-wide stewards conference and organise action for the reinstatement of the three trade unionists.
