THE Tories face more humiliation at the hands of trade unions this summer, Aslef general secretary Mick Whelan warned today.

Ahead of his speech at the TUC Protect the Right to Strike rally in Cheltenham tomorrow, Mr Whelan told the Morning Star that right-wing ideologues would not stand a chance against an even more “energised” working class when many of the pay deals struck during last summer’s wave of industrial action run out.

“We’re very much in a situation where this government couldn’t beat the working class, couldn’t turn them over,” he said.
