Expose tax haven secrets No more secrets, no more safe havens for dirty money.

Every year, $100s billions that should be funding schools, hospitals & social care is disappearing into tax havens to fuel crime, conflict & new private jets.

The UK facilitates 26% of this global tax abuse, and has the power to expose it.

Demand they act.

The government must ensure fair distribution of income 'The average real wage of workers has hardly moved from the 2008 level whilst bosses never had it so good.'

Average real wage of UK workers is stuck the 2008 level.

Some bosses are collecting 1,112 times more than the average employee wage. Millions forced to rely on food banks and charity.

Workers have no say in income distribution. Govts do nothing.

Can't build economy/society on huge inequalities.

Labour considering charging workers for employment tribunal claims, sources say Exclusive: Reintroducing tribunal fees would be β€˜a gift for bad bosses’, says TUC chief Paul Nowak

"The government shouldn’t even be considering bringing fees back," said UNISON general secretary Christina McAnea

"In the past, tribunal fees denied low-income workers access to justice. That’s why UNISON went to court and got them scrapped."
