Aberdeen Trades Union Council has been represented at a number of Scottish and UK events over recent weeks by President Tommy Campbell and Joint Secretary, Kate Ramsden.
Over the weekend of 3rd and 4th October Tommy attended the celebration of the defeat of Mosley’s Fascist Blackshirts in the East End of London known as the Battle of Cable Street.
Tommy said, "The defeat was possible because of the organising undertaken by trade unionists, political and community activists that created a unity of purpose to primarily to defend and protect the Jewish community from the antisemitic hate espoused by the fascist Blackshirts.
"That unity was essential because anti-fascists and people of good conscience fully understood that an attack on the Jewish community was an attack on all other working-class communities in the East End of London and across the UK."
Then on 9 October, Kate and Tommy attended the unveiling of the Nelson Mandela Statue in Glasgow's Nelson Mandela Place.
