Union backs workers after anti-vaxxer assault

The specialists’ Prospect union has condemned anti-vaccination protesters who attempted to storm the offices of medicines and healthcare products regulatory agency the MHRA in London last Friday. The agency works to ensure that medicines and medical procedures are safe for the public to use.

The union’s general secretary, Mike Clancy, said: “Staff at the MHRA, including Prospect members, are heroes of the pandemic and have contributed to a herculean effort to save thousands of lives.

“To see these workers targeted in this way in their workplace is utterly disgraceful, and only further discredits the perpetrators and their false narrative.

“Prospect sends our solidarity to MHRA and other staff in the building and stands ready to support members through this incident. These awful scenes will only serve to strengthen our resolve to campaign on behalf of those who have worked tirelessly to keep the public safe through these extraordinary times.”
