We the undersigned call on all delegates at TUC Congress to support resolution 37 – Wages not Warfare. The UK is the 6th richest country in the world, yet millions live in poverty, our schools are crumbling, and public services have been decimated. It comes from investing in our communities, rebuilding public services, providing decent wages, a strong welfare state and a liveable planet. We believe the TUC should put wages and welfare before warfare by:i. reversing the 2022 policy supporting “immediate increases in defence spending.”ii. campaigning for increased public investment in services decimated by austerity.
