🚨 BREAKING 🚨
One of Glasgow’s most prominent bar owners has *sacked * the chair of @GlasgowUnite days after he asked for time-off for @ScottishTUC & @unitetheunion youth conferences. No warning, disciplinary or representative.
This is trade union victimisation pure & simple.
Keir Starmer has just came out against Labour policy which is in favour of Proportional Representation. Clearly he doesn't care about his own party's members or unions like #Unison who support PR.
At a time when trust in politics is at a record low and it’s clear to millions of people that Westminster isn’t working, @Keir_Starmer has come out to defend our broken electoral system.
