Labour leader Ed Miliband was given a clear agenda on trade union and employment rights in a packed Morning Star fringe meeting yesterday at the STUC’s Dundee congress.

The meeting, jointly organised by the People’s Assembly and the Institute for Employment Rights, heard left-wing Queen’s Counsel Keith Ewing call on Labour to “give us back real rights to organise and to bargain and to strike.”

Mr Ewing said the Grangemouth oil refinery dispute had raised three simple issues for the Labour leader.
