Paddling furiously - SERTUC's tenth survey of equality trade unions

Paddling furiously: this book is correctly named in so many ways!

 

Our last report, Swimming against the tide, was published, in 2012, half way through the multifaceted attacks on working people launched by the Coalition Government. And now we experience the unfettered onslaught from this Conservative majority Government (a majority in the House of Commons if not amongst the electorate) as they forcefully carry out their intent of transferring more of the nation’s wealth from the people to the one per cent.

 

And what stands in their way? Working people and their trade unions. The Trade Union Bill, progressing through Parliament as this book goes to press, is a practical and well-thought through weapon in their armoury designed to weaken and diminish the voice of working people.

 

So we are “paddling furiously” to defend our public services, our public property, our culture, and our trade union movement.
