Description

Kevin Murphy talks to Len Murray, General Secretary of the Trades Union Congress (TUC), about the civil service union strike. Murray says only unions can determine what precise action members can take; he advises all workers to consult their local civil service unions about protest meetings. He does not know whether this secondary action is legal or not, but he says it is in defence of freedom.
