Paddy Lillis – Usdaw General Secretary said: “With a Tory Government in chaos, operating outside the law and with no parliamentary majority; Jeremy Corbyn today set out the case for a Labour Government that will deliver for
working people.

“Too many workers are struggling to makes ends meet because of insecure and low-paid employment. Retail workers fear for their jobs as the ongoing retail crisis grows. Where the Conservatives are deaf to these problems, Labour is listening and only Labour will deliver the much needed change that our members need.

“We must have a general election, as soon as we are safe from a ‘no deal’ Brexit, and our members need a Labour Government to end the Tory years of austerity cuts and attacks on working people.”
