GMB rally in Elmet

29.04.10 -

A rally took place in the heart of Elmet and Rothwell Constituency on Tuesday night. Colin Burgon the current MP is retiring after almost 30 years in the seat, during which he has remained a staunch GMB member and fighter for GMB policies. It was fitting that at this rally GMB’s general secretary, Paul Kenny paid tribute to Colin and also heartedly supported Colin’s successor James Lewis. There was standing room only and the audience heard inspirational speeches by all 3 followed by question time format which went very well. Immediately after the rally Paul Kenny said:

 

‘It’s a pleasure to be in the heart of Yorkshire amongst genuine people, this is exactly the spirit we need to retain if we are to win the general election. We only have 9 more days to shape the future of the lives of our members and their families and we need to give it one last push to ensure the return of a Labour government.’
