WASPI: Labour betray working-class women
Greens respond to Labour refusing compensation to WASPI women
Responding to a statement in the House of Commons by Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall, Scottish Greens social justice spokesperson Maggie Chapman MSP said:
“Labour must hang their heads in shame! This is a total betrayal of working-class women across Britain.
“I am devastated for the women affected by this news and I am disgusted that Labour think they can get away with this. The Scottish Greens will persist in the fight to ensure the WASPI women receive full, fair and fast compensation.
“The recommendation was clear: WASPI women deserve their pensions and compensation. For Labour to reject the report is shameful. I urge the Work and Pensions secretary to reconsider her betrayal of workers.”
