THE TUC is organising a march and rally in celebration of union history and to stand up against Tory attempts to restrict the right to strike.
Trade union members and branches have been invited to attend the rally in Cheltenham — home of spy hub GCHQ — on Saturday January 27.
Forty years ago, on January 25 1984, Margaret Thatcher’s Conservative government attacked trade union rights at GCHQ, with union members told to resign their membership or be sacked.
