Get your Socialist Press delivered each week by pos Six months (25 issues).. £10.00 One year (50 issues) . £18.00 London NW Ambulance Branch has passed the following resolution on the union's pay policy:

"A pay increase minimum of £75 to be added to the basic weekly wage-this to cancel out. the present union policy of percentage increases. This settlement shall be protected against inflation in between annual wage reviews. The index linking will be carried out by an clected union committee. In the event of the full claim not being mer, the executive committee will call an all-out national strike of all its sections with elected union committees controlling emergency supplies and services"

We strongly urge you to support this resolution. After striking three times against the 5% wage limit, members of our branch were bitterly frustrated Six issues..

Three months (12 issues).

Six months (25 issues)..

One year (50 issues) ...

EUROPE Six months (25 issues).

One year (50 issues) ..

REST OF THE WORLD by the chronic disorganisation of the low pay strikes.

Since then we have found that the whole question of pay negotiations has been taken out of the membership's hands.

If it is passed this resolution will:

*Commit the union to a real increase in our basic wage, an end to percentage increases and a minimum wage claim will do away with many of the problems of differentials.

*Establish a clear policy for winning the claim, avoiding the confusion of "selective action" and showing that we mean business.

*Protect OUr wages inbetween annual increases.

A policy such as this will build on the enormous strength which we showed during the battle against the 5% limit.

Help us to pass this resolution, and, if it falls, help us prepare for a victory at next years conference.
