Leeds Trades Council

Our Government must do more than issue yet more hollow statements if it is to help prevent what would be an unimaginable bloodbath in Rafah. It must act. Starting by ending arms sales to Israel. These arms sales mean our Government is directly complicit in Israel's war crimes.

So proud to speak at and represent @The_TUC on the 134th Leeds May Day March and rally. Such an important cause - so glad to see over 2,000 turnout today to march in solidarity. Great speakers too! #MarchforPeace

Proud to speak on the right to strike at @TUCYorksHumber - Labour need to bin the MSL legislation when they win. But additionally they need to find enough money to fund local councils, public services and to put in our pay packets so we don’t need to strike!

Good morning from the Yorkshire and Humber TUC conference in Leeds @RMTunion @TUCYorksHumber

Proud to address @TUCYorksHumber Conference today. I reflected on the 40th anniversary of the miners’ strike, the 15th anniversary of the 3-month Leeds bin strike and today’s fights against Tory anti-trade union laws, austerity and for a new deal for working people. Solidarity!

Brilliant speech from our very good friend @RichardBurgon at @TUCYorksHumber conference demanding an end to austerity when Labour take power ✊
