LONDON, Aug 31 (Reuters) - Veteran U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders joined striking British workers at a trade union rally in London on Wednesday, saying workers need to stand together to fight back at what he called "corporate greed" and billionaires amassing more wealth.

The event was hosted by the RMT union which has been at the heart of strikes that have crippled Britain's transport network in recent months as workers demand better pay and conditions to counter the impact of soaring energy price-driven inflation.

"People across the world need to stand together to tell the oligarchs they cannot have it all," Sanders told the gathering at the Trade Union Congress headquarters.

    Clearly, if Government help workers, workers are going to help workers.

     

    The time for unions has returned.

    I think you may have omitted a word but I understand the point you were going for. Unions are needed to make gains for workers then maintain them. I've seen first had what a well run union can accomplish for workers having worked for probably the best union leader my country has ever known.  My avatar is a portrait of a great pioneer of American unionism.

    Yes, sorry I did.
