No to Racism in Bury

Sandra Walmsley is a councillor for Moorside Ward and a member of the CWU. She has invited members of Bury Action Group to a meeting at the Jinnah Centre at 7pm tomorrow.

This is Judy Paskell's summary of the circumstances.

'The issue is that an Asian member of the union, working at the big O2 call centre in Radcliffe, was racially abused over the phone by a customer, eventually responded in what the company consider to be a rude manner, and has been sacked. I believe members of the Bury Asian community will be there and I think a wide spectrum of local people should attend to show that we will not tolerate racism in Bury.'

We are passing an invitation to attend on at Judy's request.
