Straws in the Wind

Jack Straw on events at Grangemouth and the behaviour of Unite - the trade union. Jack Straw is a former Labour Government Foreign Secretary and Home Secretary.

The video requires Adobe flash player but here is an extract of jack Straw's comments on the BBC's Daily Politics  programme:

Former Foreign Secretary Mr Straw, the Labour MP for Blackburn, said the union had adopted "catastrophic tactics" in the industrial dispute at Grangemouth.
"Whichever way you look at what happened at Grangemouth it's hard to see how on earth the Unite union ended up with those tactics," he continued.
"Is there something of concern there? Of course there is. And is it a saga that does not reflect well on the national leadership of Unite - both in respect of their relations with the Labour Party but also in respect of their representation of their members at a huge plant like Grangemouth? Yes."
