LABOUR must go further in its pledges to roll back attacks on workers’ rights, influential backbencher John Cryer MP said yesterday as people gathered nationwide to mark Workers’ Memorial Day.

At a rally in Waltham Forest, where a construction worker was crushed by a collapsed wall earlier this month, the Labour Party chairman and local MP called for a change of law to make individuals, and not just companies, liable for corporate manslaughter prosecutions.

Praising Labour’s commitment to a full inquiry into the blacklisting scandal, Mr Cryer said: “We’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg when it comes to blacklisting.”
