Workers Against the Far Right
far right lies benefit those at the top
Reform UK and the rest of the far right have a simple agenda. They want to divide working class people in order to win votes, so that they can help their rich friends continue to make massive profits – mostly tax free. They think if working class people are fighting each other it’ll make it easier for them to attack our trade unions and decimate our public services.
But it’s not those coming in small boats that are the problem, it’s the tax dodging politicians and their pals in big business who are fueling spiralling prices, housing shortages and cuts.
Workers Against the Far Right is a network of trade union activists who are committed to maintaining unity in our workplaces and combatting the divisive narratives of the far right. We want to amplify the initiatives being taken by trade unionists opposing racism and fascism and give confidence to workers to take on the growing threat.
Whether that’s mobilising on the streets or giving reps and activists the confidence to have difficult conversations in the workplaces with those influenced by the far right, we have to expose the far right for their anti-working class politics.

I call on all trade unionists to ‘Stand up to Racism’. Without unity the working class cannot make change. Division and blame are the bosses game.
Sharon Graham
Unite General Secretary
We are the anti-racist majority and we can stop the far right – but we need to get organised. Working class people have no interest in the racism, division and neoliberal politics of Farage.

NEU General Secretary
PCS is proud to support the work of Stand Up To Racism. It’s vital the whole trade union movement gets behind the fight against racism and fascism.
