Unions and activists push for an end to anti-immigrant Act
TRADE unionists and campaigners are set to fight back against Britain’s “ugly immigrant-bashing racism” today as thousands take to the streets for a UN Anti-Racism Day rally.
The march comes less than 24 hours after delegates at Unite the Union’s Black, Asian and Ethnic Minorities (BAEM) conference overwhelmingly agreed to push Labour to repeal the Immigration Act 2014.
Under the new legislation migrants’ rights are severely restricted alongside access to healthcare from the NHS.
