As the unions debated Europe at the TUC in Brighton this week, they and Jeremy Corbyn seemed to agree on one key thing: that David Cameron must not have a carte blanche to negotiate away workers' rights as part of his desired EU reform package ahead of the in-out referendum.
The TUC, in a dramatic move, voted to shift its long-standing support for the EU to a ‘no’ if workers’ rights were diminished or removed in Cameron’s reform package. Labour’s position meanwhile is confused.
