London councils can talk as much about making the city greener as they like - but we need real action, like wage restoration for cycling instructors after a 14 year pay freeze.
Bring a bike and join us at 11am tomorrow at Lambeth Council for the cycling instructors’ Strike Ride!
Cycling Instructors have faced a 14-YEAR PAY FREEZE.
This Friday, @IWGB_CIB are striking to demand councils and training providers pay up💥💥💥
Come and join their protest ride around London:
🚲 Meet us with your bike,
🕐 at 11am,
📌 outside Lambeth Town Hall.
@IWGB_CIB We’ll be stopping at:
📌 Lambeth Town Hall
📌 Cycle Confident Offices, (Oval)
📌 Westminster City Hall
📌 Southwark Council, (Tooley Street)
📌 Hackney Town Hall

Hospital - $44,375.76
Obstetrician - $8,323
Anesthesiologist - $2800
