Unions are planning to work closely with the new Government to rebuild the country after 14 years of Tory “chaos”, according to the leader of the TUC.
Paul Nowak, general secretary of the TUC, said: "Two months ago the British people cast their verdict on one of the most right wing, incompetent, anti-union, morally bankrupt governments this country has ever seen, and congress it feels good to be meeting here in Brighton for the first time in 15 years under a Labour government."
