Harringay Council is trying to undermine our union, tear up our terms, and deskill our craft workers. Today, we're standing strong at the picket line outside the Haringey Council employee conference ✊

The Teeswork Freeport corruption in short.

2 businessmen paid £110 for a £100m site.
We paid £462m to clean it up they paid nothing
They made £100m selling scrap metal from clean up, we received nothing.

Michael Gov won’t investigate because he is in on it.

Thames Water could be nationalised with Govt taking on its £15bn debt.

Wrong.

Thames can't repay debt. Alternative value of assets (pipes/reservoirs) is low. Logic of capitalism dictates that lenders take a hit.

💪Workers themselves must defeat the anti-union laws. And we can.
