Unions turn on 'Thatcherite' EU

The TUC took a strongly Eurosceptic turn this morning, voting to oppose further "liberalisation and militarisation" of the EU in the wake of the failed constitution. The conference, meeting for its final day in Brighton, broke with its traditionally pro-EU stance and voted by a large majority to oppose measures such as the creation of a proposed EU diplomatic service and EU defence agency and further liberalisation of European freight and passenger railways.
