Today Beggars Bush is home to the labour history museum which celebrates a long and hard struggle by ordinary working men and women for fair pay and decent terms and conditions. It is ironic that this is the same location where a Labour Party Minister effectively concluded an agreement that would undermine the pay and working conditions of low and middle-income working men and women. This same Labour Party Minister saw fit to ignore his own fine tradition of defending workers' rights and instead sought to adopt these bullyboy tactics which dominated Beggars Bush and earlier and darker period in our history.
