A brief word from Keith Vaz on British Jobs

By Keith VazBritish Jobs

Traditional trade union values support the right to work of all workers equally. We should take great care when we try and create a right to work that is dependent on whether or not you have a British passport. Seeking to create opportunities to work that are based on the concept of citizenship that excludes those who are EU citizens or have indefinite right to remain in the UK is dangerous and wrong. It is an unnecessary political gift to the far right.
