The Unite Union offices were trashed yesterday after the Zero hours campaign probably the greatest union victory for this country in the 21st century. Even the labour minister Michael Woodhouse had to back down and change employment law to prevent Zero hours contracts.

Someone smashed into Unite Union last night, kicked our doors in, went through all our files and drawers, stole all our equipment, cameras, laptops, credit card, membership vouchers and benefits and spare keys. Mike’s office completely overturned here, holes in the door. I am furious beyond belief at the anti working class scumbags who would do this to an organisation that serves low paid and vulnerable workers.

My empathy goes out to the members and staff at Unite Union. Its really bizarre this incident happened immediately after the Zero hours victory. Although I’m only speculating It could be an opportunistic burglary and the timing could be a coincidence.
