Unite says statements on union 'tensions' shouldn't detract from focus of Workers' Memorial Day

Unite says it has previously accommodated sister unions in wreath laying, and will again in future. 

National Officer, Stuart Davies, says Workers' Memorial Day has traditionally been a Unite event.

He said he was puzzled over statements around divisions and tensions between unions, and that this should not be allowed to detract from the focus of the day: to always remember the dead and fight for the living.
