RMT AGM: Anti-union laws will be fought

TRANSPORT union RMT vowed yesterday to resist the next raft of anti-trade union legislation planned by the Tory government.

Addressing the union’s annual conference in Newcastle, delegate Miguel Dias said: “Strike action is every man’s and woman’s right. It is what separates workers from slaves.”

National executive member Lloyd Roberts said the planned Trade Union Bill legislation is “all about arming the bosses and disarming the workers.

“An effective and fighting trades union movement is essential to human rights and standing up for decency,” he said.
“We are not going to go away. We are going to fight.”
