Mick Lynch, leader of the British RMT rail trade union, at the Robert Tressell festival in Liberty Hall on Saturday, with INMO general secretary Phil Ní Sheaghda.
“We can’t buy into the myth that Sinn Féin or anyone else is going to come in and save trade unionism, save working class organisation,” said Mr Lynch. “We’ve got to do it ourselves.
