Don’t use EU talks to cheat workers of their rights
TUC leader calls on European Parliament chief to derail PM’s scheme

DON’T let David Cameron use “EU reform” to slash workers’ rights, Frances O’Grady will tell European Parliament president Martin Schulz today.

Meeting Mr Schulz in Brussels this afternoon, the TUC general secretary will say he must “stand up” to the Tory Prime Minister’s demands.

“We reject the false choice between leaving the EU or staying in an EU stripped of protections for workers, consumers and the environment,” she said before the meeting.
