Len McCluskey: the free movement of labour is a class question
08 November 2016
By Len McCluskey, General Secretary of UNITE
At the 2016 conference of think tank Class - Britain at a Crossroads - General Secretary of UNITE Len McCluskey gave a speech advocating that the labour movement takes seriously the concerns of working class people about immigration. He recommended proposals to safeguard jobs and communities rather than bans on free movement of labour.
At the heart of his recommendations was the need for sectoral collective bargaining, in keeping with the proposals drawn up in the Institute of Employment Rights' Manifesto for Labour Law, for which Len McCluskey has already announced his strong support.
