CWU Backs Robin Hood Tax
CWU general secretary Billy Hayes backs the Robin
Hood Tax campaign which aims to turn the banking crisis into an
opportunity for the world by applying a tiny tax to transactions.
A Robin Hood Tax on banks' financial transactions could
raise hundreds of billions of pounds to fight poverty, protect
public services and tackle climate change, says the campaign
coalition of domestic charities, aid agencies, unions, faith
organisations and green groups.
The campaign is calling on the leaders of the UK's political
parties to support a global tax on the banks to help repair the
human damage caused by the global economic crisis, protect public
services at home, fight poverty abroad and help foot the bill for
climate change.
