Send to Socialise Press. 31. Darteous Park Hill, London A new mass picket in support of trade union rights at the Nottingham Evening Post has been called in the town for June 16.
The demonstration called by the local Trades Council and print union branches must become the focus of a decisive turn in the semidormant campaign for reinstatement of 28 sacked journalists and for recognition of print unions.
DERBY Since the NUJ annual conference called for a national one day strike in the provincial press in support of the Nottingham journalists the union's new right wing executive has done nothing to mobilise the membership in support.
But the NGA national council has agreed in principle to support such a strike.
Despite the obvious limitations and weaknesses of one day protest actions PROFIT : OFFER MORE Please sen mation abor Socialist Leag Name. .

Sand to Park Hill such a strike would draw provincial NUJ members back into struggle over the jobs of journalists sacked for joining the seven week pay strike.
Former mass pickets have been pitifully attended. A real struggle must now be taken up throughout the print unions and NUJ for delegations on the picket line and for supporting strike action.
At the same time the Nottingham journalists must themselves break from reliance on the diversionary 'alternative' paper (The Nottingham. News) which wins sympathy without advancing the struggle and restart regular picketing. Build the mass picket! Spread the strikes!
