    NSSN 462: Stop Boris Johnson’s new Tory anti-union laws!

    The Tories have revealed their General Election manifesto and despite Boris Johnson’s populism, it serves the interests of Big Business.

      From Rob Williams NSSN Chair:- “TUC Congress really is taking place at a critical time. The day after it starts, Boris Johnson’s intended suspension of Parliament begins.
