Over 120 activists from all ten local authority areas, attended Saturday’s Greater Manchester Against Cuts Conference at the Friends Meeting House in Manchester. 

The mood of the Conference, described rightly elsewhere as ‘angry and feisty’, made a number of important decisions. 

The Conference Organisers, Greater Manchester Association of Trades Councils, believe these decisions will help to begin the process of

 bringing together and building up across the Greater Manchester area, the broad ‘solidarity alliance of unions and

 communities’ called for by the 2010 TUC which is so urgently needed to defend our public services, jobs and the

 welfare state.
