THE workplace is a key battleground on which we must defeat the far right, unions heard at the TUC racial justice and equality conference today.
Speaking at the event in London, teachers’ union NASUWT general secretary Dr Patrick Roach threw a challenge at those in the labour movement to “step up” and “take a lead in the fight against racism and the far right.”
The opening session was chaired by TUC Cymru general secretary Shavanah Taj, who warned Reform UK was now neck and neck with Labour and Plaid Cyrmu in Wales.
