MOMENTUM members and trade unionists have demanded that Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham apologise for his “arrogance and anti-worker rhetoric” against striking workers.

A statement emailed to the pro-Corbyn group’s Greater Manchester members today said it was “deeply concerned” at Mr Burnham’s comments attacking construction workers who took unofficial strike action last Tuesday.

The agency workers on the Regent Road roadworks between Salford and Manchester walked off the job over unpaid wages.
