The T&G Broad Left and AMICUS Unity Gazette have agreed to merge to create the UNITED LEFT - the largest single left organisation in the British and Irish trade union movement.
The left launch meeting is open to all progressive activists in UNITE (both T&G and AMICUS sections).
The meeting will elect leading officers and debate a draft UNITED LEFT Founding Statement of Aims and Principles. This follows considerable discussions between AMICUS Unity Gazette and T&G Broad Left over the last 12 months.
The welcoming address will be given by Campaign Group MP, John McDonnell. John has been at the center of many high profile campaigns involving UNITE members. The meeting presents us with an opportunity to bring together activists from each campaign.
The conference will be held at 12:00 noon on Saturday 21st February 2009 in the Council House, Victoria Square, Birmingham B1 1BB.
Please distribute widely among supporters and encourage maximum attendance
