Plans for first-ever housing union to be launched at TUC Congress

PLANS for a new housing union, complete with rent strikes and legal advocacy, will be launched at TUC Congress tomorrow.

Volunteers at the Social Housing Action Campaign (SHAC) will present their 70-page blueprint for the union at a fringe event.

SHAC co-founder and secretary Suzanne Muna told the Morning Star that the proposals in the document would leave Yes Minister character Sir Humphrey “turning in his grave.”

“We are anticipating a big fightback but if it doesn’t happen here, we are not going to stop,” she said.
