TU RIGHTS - CO-SIGNED BYRON TAYLOR'S LATTER

There's nothing that would make David Cameron happier than destroying your rights at work.

Just a few days ago, Cameron praised Margaret Thatcher's anti-union laws and said he would be "very happy" to go even further to stop unions protecting their members' rights. For once, I believe he's telling the truth.

If the Tories want to get elected so they can roll back our
 hard-won rights, we need to let our friends and colleaguesnews know just what the Tories stand for. Co-sign our letter to David Cameron, demanding he tell us why he thinks we don't deserve the same rights at work as everyone else in Europe.

This Christmas, while we all enjoyed time with our families, I was proud to know that David Cameron received a Christmas card signed by thousands of trade unionists. Along with our holiday greetings, we let Cameron know that his plans to pull out of the legal guarantee to 4 weeks paid leave for workers are unacceptable.

I would hate for Cameron to think that he doesn't need to bother to answer the thousands of people who signed that Christmas card. We are not finished telling David Cameron and his party that their complete disregard for workers' rights will not be tolerated.

We have worked too hard and for too long to let our rights be taken from us now. Sign our letter to David Cameron and ask him to come clean on his plans to destroy workers' rights:
