Trade unionists condemn ‘shadowy’ Taxpayers Alliance
TRADE UNIONISTS have lashed out at the “shadowy” Taxpayers Alliance (TPA) after the campaign group launched an attack on general secretaries’ salaries.
The TPA published a list today with wages of elected union officials, as the group’s research director Duncan Simpson attacked “red barons” and said politicians should be “taking a stand” against “rip off” trade unions.
RMT general secretary Mick Cash condemned the organisation as a “shadowy, hard-right cabal,” and drew attention to the fact that the TPA does not disclose who funds it.
