“Working people need a Labour government that will protect them from the excesses of business, not one that kowtows to the vested interests of the super-rich.”
Mick Lynch, RMT General Secretary
By the RMT
Reacting to media reports that suggest there could be attempts to water down the New Deal for workers to ease business concerns, RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said:
“Any dilution of the New Deal for workers is wholly unacceptable.
“Labour must not bend the knee to corporate greed and instead find its voice and values by representing the interests of working people in government.
“The New Deal for workers is popular amongst trades unionists and is an asset at the ballot box.
“Working people need a Labour government that will protect them from the excesses of business, not one that kowtows to the vested interests of the super-rich.
“Any attempt to water down this popular policy will be met with a robust response from the entire trade union movement.”
