Mick Lynch, you're a legend and the unapologetic working-class leader the left is missing | Polly Smythe
Briefly

Mick Lynch, having risen to prominence in the labor movement, emphasized resilience amidst struggles, stating, "I believe that it has only made it stronger, despite all the odds."
Lynch's leadership faced significant challenges like the P&O Ferries incident, where "786 UK seafarers were sacked via Zoom, handcuff-trained security, some wearing balaclavas marched the crew off the ship."
Under Lynch's guidance, the RMT campaigned against ticket office closures in England that forced the government into a U-turn, marking a significant victory for workers' rights.
Lynch played a pivotal role against Tory minimum service levels regulations which would have limited public sector strikes, ultimately leading to Labour's repeal before they were enacted.
