EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful and historic image, we see representatives from the National Union of Public Employees (NUPE) and the General Municipal Boilermakers and Allied Trade Union (GMBATU) coming together to launch a Save our School Meals campaign in Croydon, London on June 29, 1983. The urgency of their mission is evident as they sit at a desk adorned with posters advocating for the protection of school meals amidst proposed cuts by the council.
The campaigners, both men and women, are determined to fight against these detrimental actions that would not only impact employment for cooks but also jeopardize the well-being of children who rely on these nutritious meals. With a rolling pin symbolizing their dedication to cooking up change, they make it clear that they will not stand idly by while essential services are threatened.
This photo captures a pivotal moment in history when grassroots activism was crucial in standing up against political decisions that could harm communities. It serves as a reminder of the power of collective action and advocacy in shaping policies that prioritize public welfare over budgetary concerns. The legacy of NUPE and GMBATU's efforts lives on as an inspiration for future generations to continue fighting for social justice and equality.
