DAVID CAMERON should use the upcoming G20 summit to “stand up for British workers on the international stage,” TUC general secretary Frances O’Grady said yesterday.
Ms O’Grady, who will travel to Brisbane, Australia, to meet international trade union leaders at the summit, said Mr Cameron must “push for better jobs and better wages” to ensure “it is the many not the few that benefit from economic growth.”
With businesses and trade unions across the globe, the TUC has put its name to a five-point plan that demands growth, an increase in skill levels and an end to forced and casualised labour.
In an open letter to Mr Cameron, Ms O’Grady writes: “I hope that you will support the calls … for the benefits of growth to be equitably distributed, in particular by raising wages.”
Mr Cameron is expected to address the Australian parliament during his visit. He has developed strong links with the country’s right-wing premier Tony Abbott, who has joined Mr Cameron in sending war planes to assist US-led air stikes on Islamic State (Isis) targets in the Middle East.
