Electricians have launched a brave campaign of protest and direct action up and down the country against attempts by 8 construction giants to lower their pay by 35% and deskill their profession.

They've already forced one contractor to back down - but there's seven more (hugely profitable) companies who want to use high unemployment and the blacklisting of employees to smash wages and conditions.

They need our support - and together we can win. Come to Manchester University Student union to hear what they have to say, and for an open discussion of students, trade unionists, left-wing activists to look at how we can publicise this fight and show solidarity for sparks!
