Manchester night shift gives Karen a thumbs up!

“it is the first meeting I have done that started after midnight,’ said nurse Karen, who is standing as the Trades Unionist and Socialist Candidate in the Manchester Gorton constituency. Karen met a group of nine who work nights and have to deal with emergencies that require help through out the night.

‘There was a serious discussion about the cuts, and what we should do in response,’ she said. ‘It was a very positive meeting.’ With public sector workers threatened with cuts Karen’s ‘Make the bankers pay!’ demand provides a practical answer to the deficit threat.

‘We were all excited to be honest. No one has ever been to speak to us!’, said one council worker.
