Labour Party Conference 2023 TUC general secretary vows to press Labour on progressive taxation

TUC general secretary Paul Nowak vowed today to engage with Labour on progressive taxation, a wave of public-sector insourcing and the party’s new deal for working people.

Speaking at a Labour conference fringe meeting, he welcomed the party’s deputy leader Angela Rayner’s commitments to improve worker and union rights, adding: “That needs to sit alongside another commitment Labour has made: a massive wave of public-sector insourcing. 

“Labour is going to have to set out an alternative in terms of how we deliver pay bargaining machinery for public-sector workers.

“Any government that comes in has got to be making those hard political choices, has to have a serious debate about taxation in this country and how we use that to fund public sectors and the infrastructure that we need.

“That’s the sort of issues that we will be taking forward with Labour publicly [and] privately over the next 12 months.”
