Alvaro Uribe is found guilty of witness tampering and procedural fraud, reports NICK MACWILLIAM

THE agenda for this year’s Wales TUC is very aptly titled “Unions Winning for Workers.”
A union-hostile government at Westminster, mired in scandals, increasing inflation (the worst in Europe), war in Ukraine and the tipping point for global warming almost reached, point to a difficult future for working people.
As far as Wales is concerned, the economic contest is important. Welsh weekly earnings remain the lowest of all the nations and regions of Britain, having fallen to 89 per cent of the UK in 2018.

It is only trade union power at work that will materially improve the lot of working people as a class but without sector-wide collective bargaining and a right to take sympathetic strike action, we are hamstrung in the fight to tilt back the balance of power, argues ADRIAN WEIR
