Owen Slams Tories over Workers Rights

Gay socialist writer Owen Jones pulls no punches in his latest opinion piece for The Guardian. Mr Jones says that in his words “Tory papers have decided to accuse the public of failing its masters, while attempting to bully workers back into the office.  “ His remarks come after a series of headlines in conservative newspapers such as the Telegraph that appeared to suggest that workers who do not wish to return to work prematurely could face being dismissed. Mr Jones says “This attempt to terrorise workers is a reminder of a commonly understood fact: Britain is a country in which bosses have the whip hand. “. He urges people join trade unions as a matter of urgency to defend their employment rights and to send a clear message to right wing owned newspaper outlets. He concludes: “The age of coronavirus has exposed multiple injustices in British life, not least the total lack of protection afforded many workers.”
