Green Left sends support to Green party of England and Wales’ Education Spokesperson, Vix Lowthian, who was criticised by the Daily Mail for sending a solidarity message to striking National Education Union (NEU) members from Greece. The implication was that Vix Lowthian was on holiday, whereas she was leading a school educational trip, a job which actually involves working longer hours than a regular teacher’s day.
The Daily Mail has an unenviable reputation for right wing smears which it has yet again demonstrated in this inaccurate attack. As ecosocialists and supporters of trade unions we condemn this attempt at scapegoating a Green trades unionist and all other unjustified media coverage of trades unionists and strikers who are defending all workers against governments economic and political mismanagement.
