A protest march is being planned for Lancaster after a packed public meeting in the city about the rising concerns over the cost of living.
About 100 people - welcomed in with musicians on the town hall steps - came to Lancaster Town Hall to the meeting organised by Lancaster and Morecambe Trades Union Council on Wednesday September 14.
The meeting was also held to support people who are on strike for wages to keep pace with inflation.
Speakers included representatives of the RMT railways staff, CWU postal workers, a hospital cleaner and UNISON members.
There were speakers from UCU, the university lecturers union, education union NEU, and climate campaigners, Extinction Rebellion.
Tenants group TACU (Tenants and Community Union) talked about the campaign against rent rises and rogue landlords.
The meeting backed the new national campaign 'Enough is Enough' and urged people to sign up.
A sum of £300 was collected to support those on strike who are facing hardship through loss of pay and the trades council has set up a local strike fund.
In response to the 'Enough is Enough' national campaign's call for a day of action on Saturday, October 1, it was agreed at the meeting that a march from the CWU postal dispute picket line on Fenton Street would be organised.
