Will Duckworth (Green) 

1) I pledge to work to ensure that public services are properly
resourced and delivered by the public sector and that there are no
further local office closures, public sector job cuts or
privatisations.

2) I pledge to support measures aimed at closing the UK tax gap
including recruiting HMRC staff and ensuring tax loopholes are closed.

3) I pledge to support civil service national pay bargaining and to
press the government to offer pay increases to public sector works at least in line with inflation.

4) I pledge to honour the 2005 commitment on public sector pensions and defend the rights of existing members of the civil service compensation scheme.

5) I pledge to campaign to ensure any changes to public services are only made after proper equality impact assessments have been conducted and their findings implemented.
 
I and the Green Party are pushing hard to fight against any cuts in public services. This is our second priority after securing more 'green' jobs.
 
Unfortunately I have to offer my sympathy as I don't think we will be in power and be able to stop the drastic and devastating cuts which the low taxation parties will impose on your members. Jobs are money and if they cut money the vast majority of it will be in the form of people's jobs.
