ToryWatch; Tories attack Health and Safety legislation

In the name of deregulation, the Tories have continued their real agenda to attack H&S protection for workers. There seems to be collective amnesia amongst these ladies and gents to the struggles workers have waged in the past to improve working conditions and building safer workplaces. In their tiny minds the modern age seems to have answered all the questions of poor health and safety after all we are not living in Victorian times any more. They have to be stopped. The only way to stop deregulation is good union organisation and a strong shop stewards movement.

But, hey, they are Tories, what do you expect.

While I'm on the subject of Tories attacking workers, this caught my eye a few days ago. The minimum wage has helped millions of workers away from the poverty wages the Tories love. Its nice to see Cameron reverting to type (well that's if he has in anyway changed from type in the first place!!)


And here is 'barking' Ed Vaisey getting wound up about Newsnight. Bloody Commie BBC!!

Good post Ian - don't forget the Tory plans to dismantle the final salary schemes, privatise the post office and retire the NHS etc.
