It represents IER’s submission to Jeremy Corbyn’s ‘Workplace 2020’ initiative. Since the launch it has been welcomed as a blueprint for workers’ rights by John McDonnell and supported by a growing number of trade unions. This is superb news, but the battle of ideas isn’t over yet! We need to spread the message contained in our Manifesto and show that an economy with trade unions at its heart is one that will deliver social justice and economic efficiency. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoBodyText align=left style='text-align:left'><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#44546A'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoBodyText align=left style='text-align:left'><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#44546A'>To that end we need your assistance.
