High Court injunction against UVW's protest is an attack on the entire trade union movement, strikers warn
UVW and IWGB union members rally outside High Court

STRIKING migrant security guards warned of an attack on the entire trade union movement today as they blasted an injunction against protests at a rally outside the High Court in central London.

The outsourced workers, represented by the United Voices of the World (UVW) union, said last week’s interim order, granted by judges after an application by bosses at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), was a “draconian” move that had no place in modern Britain.

The union hoped to have the injunction, which criminalises flag-waving and “loud noises” within 200 metres of the world-famous children’s institution, cancelled today, but the decision was deferred after the presiding judge recused himself over a possible conflict of interest.
