Over 30 activists from a dozen different unions working in the private, public and voluntary sectors across Reading came together to elect an executive group and begin developing a programme to build a united voice for working people and communities in our town.
Representatives from the branch attended the event because we feel there is an urgent need for a united trades union movement to defend members and promote an alternative to a cuts agenda which could devastate our community.
The next RTUC meeting will be held on Thursday 7 October, and the group will be building towards an AGM next February.We will bring you more news as things develop.
