News reaches FC of a TUC hustings on Tuesday night, to which only Labour, Plaid and NO2EU candidates were invited.
Apparently, the Welsh Lib Dems were not invited because “we wanted to have candidates more representative of trade unions”.
Surely it is up to Union members to decide who is representative of them? I suppose that the Cardiff TUC leadership believe they know what is best for their members. These undemocratic dinosaurs shouldn’t be allowed to keep their grip on Trade Unionism. At least Welsh Lib Dem candidates got to spend their time out on the doorsteps meeting real people for the evening instead of taking part in a stage managed puppet show.

This is from the same trade union barons who decided that Alun Michael was more representative of their members views than Rhodri – but denied them a vote!
Probably because the unions bosses know best all the time always.
