HONDA - REINSTATE PADDY BRENNAN!

28 July The National Shop Stewards Network has just received word that Paddy Brennan, UNITE Convenor at the Swindon Honda plant has been suspended from work. More details to follow when we get them, but Paddy's suspension is a provocative attack on a prominent trade union fighter and by extension an attack on the right to organise at Honda. We demand Paddy's reinstatement and the NSSN pledges to do all it can in support of this.

Donald McDougall, Honda Unite branch secretary said: "Paddy Brennan is a dedicated socialist who deserves better than this shoddy treatment, for no other reasson than fighting for the best interests of his fellow workers. He has given a massive amount of his time in the support of those in need, both within the workplace and outwith, supporting many campaigns nationwide. It is now time that we rally behind him and expose his accusers of their anti-union agenda. In the coming days Paddy and our organisation will be looking for support and solidarity from our brothers and sisters."

Please text messages of support to Paddy on 07985 800 763 and email letters of protest to [email protected]. More updates to follow.
