Morning Star: STUC urged to back People's Charter - April 2010

Monday 19 April 2010

The STUC has rallied behind the principles of the People's Charter calling for the current failed economic and social model to be ditched.

RMT delegate Phil McGarry slammed the politicians and financiers who seem mystified as to how the system has failed.

"If you think we're gonna pay for it, you've got another thing coming," he said. "The working people in this country will not accept redundancies, they will not accept terms and conditions or pension rights being eroded, they will not accept public services being slashed."
