What’s the Labour Government ever done for us?

Introduction by John Hannett, Usdaw General Secretary

I am delighted to be publishing this booklet that outlines what our Labour Government has delivered for us all. I am proud that Usdaw has worked with the Labour Government to make real and significant gains for working people.

The last 11 years have seen enormous improvements in public services, in rights at work and in the economy. There is no doubt that people in work and pensioners are much better off.

Actions speak louder than words and Labour's record in Government speaks for itself, as you can see from the successes highlighted in this booklet.

Actions also speak louder than words for the Tories. Their record in government was one of economic incompetence, unemployment, rising poverty and public services starved of investment.

The Usdaw members on pages 23 and 24 are typical of the hard-working people who have gained so much from Labour and would have so much to lose under the Tories.

This booklet demonstrates why we need to retain a Labour Government and win a fourth term in power, by giving you the facts that you won't hear in the media. I will let the facts speak for themselves.

The sections in the booklet cover:

• Economic success

• Rights for people at work

• Helping hard-working families

• Pensioners and pensions

• Health services

• Education

• Crime and policing

• Public transport

• Housing and communities

• The Environment

• The people behind the statistics
