Derek Simpson will warn ultra right wing groups that their politics
of hate are not welcome on construction sites across the UK
In a condemnation of the British National Party, Derek Simpson,
the joint leader of Unite, will warn ultra right wing groups that
their politics of hate are not welcome on construction sites across
the UK.
Mr Simpson said: "The unofficial action taking place across the
UK is not about race or immigration, it's about class. It's about
employers who exploit workers regardless of their nationality
by undercutting their hard won pay and conditions. These are rights
that trade unionists have fought long and hard for while ultra
right wing groups did nothing but stoke hatred in our towns and
cities.
"Trade unionists stand against everything the BNP stands for. We
have warned union members on construction sites to remain vigilant
when it comes to ultra right wing leeches. These right wing groups
do not support trade unions. In fact, they're probably taking down
the names of trade unionists involved in the unofficial action and
adding them to their list of left wing enemies."
