As well as speaking at our event, he will also be addressing an early evening public meeting in Aberdare later the same day.<br \/>\n\u201cMr Corbyn began his political career working for several trade unions before he became a local councillor in the 1970s and then an MP in 1983. He has been a life-long supporter of trade unionism supporting many strikes and disputes\u201d<br \/>\nThe Trade Union Bill, which is currently being scrutinised in the House of Lords, will make it harder for unions to go on strike.<br \/>\nMr Johannes called the Trade Union Bill \u201ca nasty piece of legislation that attacks civil liberties\u2019\u201d. Other union members in Cardiff have highlighted the importance of resisting the bill.<br \/>\nMr Insole said that Wales was doing well in opposing the bill: \u201cI am delighted that our Welsh Government has decided to hold the line and stand by the 400,000 Welsh Trade Union members by refusing to implement the Bill\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cWhereas the Tories claimed that our Assembly did not have the powers to oppose it, leaked ministerial correspondence indicates that their own lawyers acknowledge Westminster is on a sticky wicket.\u201d<br \/>\nAs well as an address by the Labour leader there will be speeches by junior doctors, a trade union steelworker, Inland Revenue staff discussing cuts to their offices\u00a0and Cardiff Central MP Jo Stevens.<br \/>\nUnite&#8217;s Sue Leader said: \u201cIt&#8217;s blindingly obvious to anyone the government have, once again, badly misjudged the mood of the country&#8217;s workforce. The junior doctors have voted to strike. This is grave, if they have decided to withdraw their labour &#8211; who is next?<br \/>\n\u201cIt&#8217;s not just the employed who are feeling militant either, the general public are starting to put their weight behind campaigns to thwart this government and to save what&#8217;s left of our public services.\u201d<br \/>\nMr Johannes said: \u201cBritain is now a low wage economy where millions of people work hard but still struggle to pay the bills or put bread on the table.<br \/>\n\u201cTaking out the opposition &#8211; the trade union movement &#8211; will make it easier to push through brutal cuts and privatisation across the board.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LABOUR leader Jeremy Corbyn has confirmed that he will speak at the Trade Union Pride March in Cardiff next month.
