I am far too tired to blog of substance this evening after being on the campaign trail in Port Talbot and Neath Constituency all day today. Many people were out today for Bank Holiday( oh, they have lives! I am jealous!)- probably at the beach or enjoying a family day out. As a result it wasn't the most productive of days for canvassing, although we did meet quite a few supporters here and there!
I am going to a protest organised by Unison tomorrow at Neath Port Talbot Hospital regarding the cuts in staff cleaning hours by the private company OCS Limited. This is just another issue in a long line of New Labour failures with regards the Health Service.
140 workers are taking part in a day long strike, and the demonstration takes place at 9.30am if you are in the area and fancy coming along to support the workers....

Why?
Unison is a British unionist organisation that uses its member's funds to support Labour and oppose Plaid Cymru!
I understand what you are saying but I think this perhaps applies to the leadership. At the end of the day, workers are members of Unison, and I can't just ignore a campaign because of that. Many union's are Labour dominated,but Plaid have to show that we have a part to play in helping to fight for workers.
Hi Bethan. Have you responded to Cymuned's email yet?
I haven't received an email. It says on their website that they are contacting AM's and I'm a mere candidate at the moment!
Sorry, I thought you were an AM
;-)
well that's not a bad thing to have thought sanddef. Hopefully come May the 3rd I will be!
