TRANSPORT union RMT has released a fundraising single by music legends Primal Scream and Dexys called Enough is Enough!.
The song has been released in support of the union’s ongoing fight against low pay and job cuts.
RMT general secretary Mick Lynch makes a guest appearance on the track and said that the union was extremely pleased with the support from musicians like Kevin Rowland, Sean Read, Bobby Gillespie and former the Jesus and Mary Chain bassists Douglas Hart.
The latter produced a hard-hitting video to go along with the song.
Lynch said: “As we go into further strike action this Saturday this sort of solidarity, which these talented musicians gave completely free of charge, is an indication of the huge support we are getting from across the country.
“All the money from this single will go directly to our dispute fund which we are using as part of our battle for justice in the workplace.
“It’s time for the government to stop interfering and let us negotiate a settlement with the employers.”
Dexys frontman Kevin Rowland said he was proud to stand alongside unions like the RMT as organisations that were fighting for a fair deal for workers in the face of a cost-of-living crisis.
He said: “It’s clear to millions that something is very wrong when millionaires get ever richer while workers are told to accept poverty.
“As we say in the song the media sets out to confuse people with lies and divide us with side issues like Brexit and culture wars while all we are really getting is endless austerity and cuts.
“We are saying Enough is Enough.”
