This branch/committee/ organisation notes
- The alarming rise of racism, Islamophobia and Antisemitism and far right forces across Europe, America and elsewhere.
- The rise of right wing populism with racist Nigel Farage’s new project, the growth of a far right movement both in Britain and internationally centred on targeting Muslims, and the continuing dangerous racist rhetoric and scapegoating pushed by the Tories amidst their crisis.
- The ‘hostile environment’ created by the government, which scapegoates migrants and refugees and attacks Muslims with its Prevent Agenda, provides fuel for racist populism and the far right to grow.
- That the workplace also remains a ‘hostile environment’ for many BAME workers.
We believe
- That we must combat all attempts to divide and rule working class people.
- It’s not migrants and refugees who undermine wages and public services – its cuts and austerity.
- Racism has no place in the workplace, and unions must be at the forefront of challenging it.
