The government’s announcement of an inquiry into trade union tactics is further
proof of its determination to undermine the right to protest against its austerity
programme.

As millions of people face falling real wages, unemployment, part time or casualised
low paid work, and the rapid destruction or privatisation of the welfare state they
stand in need of trade union organisation and the right to protest more than ever.

We pledge ourselves to resist this attack. The right to protest is a fundamental civil
liberty. The right to join an effective trade union is the product of generations of working
class resistance. We have no intention of relinquishing it to a Government with no
interests in the needs of working people.
