THE vicious attack on RMT assistant general secretary Steve Hedley raises important questions that anti-racists, the labour movement and the left ignore at their peril.
Most immediate is the need for solidarity with a trade union leader who is a staunch working-class anti-racist and anti-fascist.
He embodies the political awareness and determination that must be created throughout the organised working-class movement to oppose anti-foreigner, anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant hatred.
As extremist movements grow on the streets and at the ballot box, the emergence of the Together Alliance points to a vital strategy: unity across trade unions, campaigners and communities, says TONY CONWAY
Once again, our broad-based coalition outnumbered the anti-migrant protest in Faversham, but tackling the sentiment behind this wave of anger requires explaining the real reasons pushing millions into leaving their homelands, argues NICK WRIGHT
