Responding to today’s (Tuesday) speech by the Prime Minister to TUC Congress, TUC General Secretary Paul Nowak said:

“The Prime Minister set out an ambitious and very different vision for Britain to the chaos and division of the last 14 years.

“A Britain where unions, business and government work together to deliver for working people and the common good. A Britain where everyone is treated with dignity and respect at work. A Britain where work pays for all.

“Unions stand ready to roll up our sleeves to help repair and rebuild this country.”

Commenting on the PM reaffirming his commitment to scrapping anti-union laws, Paul added:

“It was great to hear the PM reaffirm his commitment to scrapping the Tories’ vindictive anti-unions laws.

“We welcome the new government’s grown-up approach to industrial relations and to engaging constructively with its workforce.”
