We have had our differences with Labour, STUC President
Martin Keenan told the opening session of this year's
Congress in Dundee. "But the stark reality
facing us is - if the Tories are elected - and given
the statements they have made about the budget deficit
and the future for trade unions - would mean some
very tough years ahead for us all.
"The front line services that
enhance all our lives will be the first to be scrapped
altogether - while the Tory supporting elite will
enjoy big tax concessions and become fatter and
wealthier in the process", warned the Martin
who is from the Communications Workers Union.
"Many think Labour has let them
down and perhaps it has. But the alternative is
a million times worse.
"For the old, the young, the
sick - indeed for all our sakes - let's keep the
Tories out", said Martin.
