labour blog about why Manuel Cortes, President of TSSA is so keen to remove the Black-Jewish
Vice Chair of Momentum, Jackie Walker, from her position.
Mike Katz of the Jewish Labour Movement and First Group
Walker has been suspended from Labour according to news articles over comments
made in a training event run by (amongst others) Mike Katz.
Cortes the GenSec of TSSA (Travel workers union) has spoken out against her.
of TSSA represents workers in discussions with First Group.
Katz (Vice Chair of the Zionist Labour Movement) works as PR for First Group.
Katz previously worked for TSSA.
Cortes of TSSA could reasonably be asked several questions:
- Has he ever met or had communication with Mike
Katz. - Has Mike Katz had any influence on Manuel in his
stance on Jackie Walker. - Has Manuel consulted anyone within TSSA on his
stance on Jackie Walker. - Has Manuel asked his staff whether they were
aware HMD marks many Genocides. - What objection has Manuel got for Jackie Walker
asking during the training event the scope and publicity of HMD - Does Manuel think training events should be
filmed without participants permission. - Does Manuel think there can be false accusations
made against people for political purposes. - Would Manuel take a private sector senior
position in a Transport company that TSSA workers worked in if offered if
he leaves TSSA - Does Manuel think natural justice means that
statements made against an accused by a senior person is prejudicial
to a fair hearing. - Does Manuel accept that Jackie Walker has been a
tireless anti racism campaigner
would be great if Manuel Cortes could make a public statement on these
questions so we can have answers.
