Burnham criticised for calling for police action against striking workers
ANDY BURNHAM was lambasted today for demanding that police take action against construction workers on an unofficial strike over unpaid wages, who he labelled “arrogant.”
The Greater Manchester metro mayor made the comments during a speech today at property speculator jamboree Mipim in Cannes, France, while the workers’ contractor, Dawnus, filed for bankruptcy.
Mipim has been repeatedly criticised for turbo-charging “empty tower” gentrification across Britain.
