Civil disobedience needed to resist fire-and-rehire attacks on workers
MASS peaceful civil disobedience is needed to resist fire-and-rehire attacks on workers, RMT’s Eddie Dempsey has said.
People must resist bosses who are “not following the rules,” the transport union’s assistant general secretary told a fringe meeting at the Communication Workers Union’s (CWU) annual conference on Monday evening.
The event, called to highlight the widely condemned practice of threatening workers with the sack if they do not accept inferior contracts, was also addressed by CWU senior deputy general secretary Tony Kearns and Labour MP Barry Gardiner.
