GMB Regional Secretary Paul McCarthy on why GMB will be fighting for a Labour victory in the general election :
“ On June 8th the British people will be going to the polls in what is , without a doubt , the most important general election in decades .
Not only is a right wing Tory push for a “ hard brexit ” on the cards and with it the risk of further stifling our economy for years to come , but an increased majority for the Tories will be hugely damaging to an already fragile recovery , housing prospects for young people and devastating for our NHS .
Not to mention those vulnerable and aging members of our society who continue to come under attack from a heartless tory elite that would rather slash taxes for their rich friends than invest in quality care for the very people who made this country what it is .
Whilst far from perfect , our Labour party as it continues to develop and grow , is the only party that will work to create good quality jobs , protect and restore employment rights for working people and end the abuse of casual employment .
They are the only party that will preserve our NHS and rebuild it for the 21st century rather than tearing it down as the Tories seem intent on doing . And they are the only party that will tackle the lack of funding in social care ensuring our elderly and vulnerable family members are looked after with dignity and respect .
For the first time in generations our kids will be worse off than we were - on low wages in insecure jobs and with poor housing prospects . Surely that can ’ t be right ?
GMB will be working hard to ensure a Labour victory at the election because we believe strongly that it is in the best interests of working people and the communities we represent .
Please help and support us where and when you can , but most importantly please don ’ t allow May ’ s vicious and reckless Tories ruin our NHS , our jobs and economy and worst of all the future for our children ”.
VOTE LABOUR FOR A BETTER FAIRER BRITAIN
