WORKERS’ MPs are ramping up their battle to defend the trade union movement on the Westminster front of the Tory class war.
Labour MPs including party leader Jeremy Corbyn and shadow chancellor John McDonnell joined a poster demonstration on Wednesday evening to build support for the TUC’s lobby of Parliament on Monday taking on the anti-democratic Trade Union Bill.
GMB secretary Paul Kenny, who chairs the Unions Together group of Labour affiliates, said: “The Trade Union Bill attacks our right to strike, to campaign and to voice our concerns through politics.
“Throughout history, as trade unionists we have been political because we were denied justice, we have spoken out to defend the rights of our friends and colleagues, in work and out. We mustn’t lose this vital right.
“They’re removing civil rights and seeking to destroy trade union organisation in this country.
Monday’s lobby will be at 11am followed by a rally at Westminster Central Hall from 2.30pm.
