TUC president warns Sir Keir unions' patience ‘won't hold out for very long’
TUC president Matt Wrack warned Sir Keir Starmer today that he will need to take swift action on workers rights’ and public-sector pay should Labour win the general election.
He said that Sir Keir should convene a meeting with trade union leaders to hear their priorities within days of becoming Prime Minister.
Such summits between ministers and unions should take place regularly as the “patience of union members will not hold out for very long,” said Mr Wrack, who is also general secretary of the Fire Brigades Union.
