John McDonnell, leading spirit among Labour MPs in the Socialist
Campaign Group, interviews Mark Serwotka about the government’s
proposals for workfare and private welfare insurance. Mark is a leading
left winger on the TUC. He is General Secretary of PCS, the union that
represents those charged with carrying out New Labour’s welfare
‘reforms.’ Their task is made all the harder by the government’s
decision to get rid of 30,000 workers at the Department of Work and
Pensions. John and Mark discuss the fightback against the government’s
plans.
