The Tax Payers Alliance have called upon activists near Tameside to come out and oppose the subsidisation of Union staff from the tax payers pocket:

This Saturday 3 September, members of the TPA team will be joining Liam Billington, our coordinator in Tameside, Greater Manchester, for an action day. We will be meeting in the Market Place, Ashton-under-Lyne, at noon for a couple of hours of campaigning. We will be handing out TPA recruitment cards, and collecting signatures for a petition against the taxpayer funding of unions in Tameside.

Residents can also sign the petition online.
