CITY of Liverpool FC (COLFC) used their high-profile friendly against fellow supporter-run club FC United of Manchester last week to raise awareness for the trade unions’ ongoing fight for workers’ rights, conditions and fair pay.
Members of the RMT were given free entry, with representatives from Liverpool, Manchester and London in attendance at the game in Bootle.
