TUC recording to support nov30 strike

Hi all,
please support this release to support the strike on november 30th - see information below.

It's a fantastic idea that we can try and get in the charts for Nov 30.

And the fantastic Robb Johnson was part of it so it must be good!! (Ps you can see the latest Robb song at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h30xX9c-uSo )

The TUC has brought together a group of public sector staff as The Workers to re-record the classic song Let's Work Together as a charity track that celebrates everything that is good about the public sector and raises money for today's pensioners.
 
The song will be launched on Monday 21 November to chart on Sunday 27 November – the week of the TUC Day of Action.
 
The Workers are 14-strong and include a firefighter, probation officers, a teacher, civil servant, social worker, student support officer and health service staff including a nurse, midwives, a physiotherapist and a clinical engineer.
 
The aim of the song is to get people talking about the importance of the public sector and its staff in a week when the government wants to focus on union bashing.
 
The single will also raise money for charity. A major part of the sale price, equivalent to about 40p out of the 99p cost in most outlets, will be donated by the TUC to Age UK to show support for today's pensioners.
 
Let's Work Together will be available to download from 2pm on Sunday 20 November on itunes, amazon and other major online retail outlets. Further information about the band and how to buy the single is available at

www.theworkers.org.uk

The more singles that are bought, the higher the chart placing and the more attention the song will get. This is why we need your support!

-          Help create a pre-release buzz around the song release on Friday 18 November by uploading the band's website to your facebook profile, tweet about it and email colleagues. By Friday the website will have all of your biographies, the video, a snippet of the song and info on where to buy it.
