The unacceptable face of New Labour
The Gall of these people will never cease to amaze and disgust me; Last night on Newsnight 'Gentleman' Jim Fitzpatrick defended New Labour's staunch fight against the agencies who are involved in the growing slave labour market in the UK. Speaking in reply to the charge that his Government do nothing to stop the systematic exploitation of workers, who are forced to live and work in appaling conditions with no employment rights to protect them, he said "We are conducting a wide ranging consultation on the operation of employment agencies". This is the same 'Gentleman' who on the 2nd March this year 'talked out' Paul Farrelly's bill to give employment rights to agency workers, despite the fact that 118 of his colleague Labour MP's stayed in the House on a Friday afternoon to support the Bill.
On a topical note, contrast the above with the disgraceful New Labour tacit support to resurrect a recently 'talked out' bill. It would appear that, despite the Warwick Agreement, this Government is more interested in supporting the gagging of the Freedom of Information Act than they are in giving workers basic human rights.
