TUC leaders in Manchester
have urged the city council not to evict any tenants who fall into arrears as a

government's controversial under-occupancy policy and press for a commitment to
not evict struggling tenants. The Trades Council says it will now step up its
campaign against evictions. Trade unionists are also asking Manchester councillors who sit on the boards
of social housing organisations to "resist the government's attack on the
poor and support the 'no evictions' position". Read more on 24dash.
