If you’re anything like me you’ll believe that there is an awful lot of bluff and bluster over the EU In and Out debate but I personally don’t feel that any of our real questions are being addressed by the establishment millionaires in the Out campaign groups.

From a worker’s perspective, the Out groups seem quite happy to gamble with our NHS, with our jobs, our public services and our homes with no thought to the ramifications that this will have across our communities and workforces.

Likewise, the In campaign needs to ensure it continues to address these fundamental issues as well.

What I want to see is an outcome that can provide working people in Britain with a strong economic foundation for British industry to grow.

EU membership has assisted us in our fight for rights and freedoms in the workplace. What Unite members want to know is how the Out groups intend to protect these hard-earned rights?

Our fear is that they won’t but instead will use Brexit to strip them back to worthlessness, leaving our workplaces impoverished.

The bosses in the Out camps are also curiously silent when it comes to the financial chaos that will ensue once the dust has settled should Britain decide to leave the EU.

Make no mistake, workers will be the first to suffer as bosses scramble to hedge their bets in unchartered waters.

The Out campaign groups have no answers to questions that concern workers.

Our movement is built on collectivism but this doesn’t stop at the factory gate.

As members of the EU we are partners in peace and security. Yes, we need a reformed Europe so that its prosperity is more fairly shared but we can only reform it from within.

So while the Out campaign groups may scream about “sovereignty,” what is their answer to south-west based Unite members who work in the aerospace sector, such as Airbus or GKN? Will they be honest with them and admit that their livelihoods are at risk if Britain votes to leave the European Union?

I’d also like to know how the Out campaign groups expect farm workers in the south-west to be able to provide for their families if Britain were to leave the EU given the enormous benefit of subsidies currently from Europe.

Ultimately, the British people will decide but I’m not willing to gamble my members’ futures on a high-risk poker game where working peoples livelihoods are at stake.
