It also calls for a fairer tax system, with the wealthy and big business paying their way, investment not cuts in public services, the creation of millions of new homes, and sustainable jobs with decent wages.[2] Points covered by the CharterUsing the six demands of the People's Charter of 1838 as a template,[1] the demands of the People's Charter are:
EndorsementsThe People's Charter has been endorsed by the following Trade Unions: the RMT, the CWU, the FBU, the PCS, the NUT, the NUJ, the BFAWU POA (Scotland), the UCU, and the TUC.[3] The People's Charter attracted support from various high-profile politicians including Jeremy Corbyn, Tony Benn and John McDonnell, and a number of personalities from the arts world including Billy Bragg, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Mark Thomas and Ken Loach.[4] It has also been endorsed by the Communist Party of Britain,[5] Labour Representation Committee,[6] the Scottish Campaign for Socialism,[7] and the Socialist Party.[8] CriticismsThe People's Charter has been criticised by some parties on the left, particularly Workers' Liberty, for being too limited in its scope, and for being social democratic rather than revolutionary.[9] References1. ^1 {{cite news | last = Richards | first = Andy | title = A people’s alternative | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120511023708/http://www.morningstaronline.co.uk/index.php/news/content/view/full/90816 | archive-date = 11 May 2012 | url = http://www.morningstaronline.co.uk/index.php/news/content/view/full/90816 | work = Morning Star | date = 26 May 2010 |access-date = 24 June 2010}} 2. ^{{cite book | title = The People's Charter for a fairer Scotland | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20161129082623/http://www.unison-scotland.org.uk/peoplescharter/PeoplesCharter.pdf | archive-date = 29 November 2016 | url = http://www.unison-scotland.org.uk/peoplescharter/PeoplesCharter.pdf | publisher = Scottish Organising Committee for the People's Charter | year = 2009 | access-date = 28 November 2016 }} 3. ^{{cite web | title = Congress Decisions 2009, Resolutions Carried: 32 People's Charter | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20101214102025/http://www.tuc.org.uk/the_tuc/tuc-17093-f0.cfm | archive-date = 14 December 2010 | url = http://www.tuc.org.uk/congress/tuc-17255-f18.cfm | publisher = Trades Union Congress | access-date = 24 June 2010 | deadurl = yes | df = }} 4. ^{{cite book | title = The People's Charter a charter for change | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20180526132427/http://www.plymouth-tuc.co.uk/Website/Resources/People's%20Charter.pdf |archive-date = 26 May 2018 |url= http://www.plymouth-tuc.co.uk/Website/Resources/People's%20Charter.pdf | publisher = Plymouth TUC | year = 2009 | access-date = 28 November 2016 }} 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://communist-party.org.uk/britain/peoples-assembly/745-peoples-charter-getting-organised-locally.html|title=People's Charter - getting organised locally|website=communist-party.org.uk|publisher=Communist Party of Britain |date = 13 February 2010}} 6. ^{{cite web | title = People’s Charter Convention - Sat 21 Nov | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120303035942/http://l-r-c.org.uk/news/story/peoples-charter-convention-sat-21-nov/ |archive-date = 3 March 2012 |url= http://l-r-c.org.uk/news/story/peoples-charter-convention-sat-21-nov/ | website = l-r-c.org.uk | publisher = Labour Representation Committee |date = 20 November 2009|access-date = 25 June 2010}} 7. ^{{cite web | last =Campaign for Socialism Exec | author-link = Campaign for Socialism | title = Launch of Scottish Labour Representation Committee and People’s Charter|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120216204130/http://www.thecitizen.org.uk/?p=110 |archive-date = 16 February 2012|url= http://www.thecitizen.org.uk/?p=110|website=www.thecitizen.org.uk |date = 23 February 2009}} 8. ^{{cite web | last = Sell | first = Hannah | title = Is the People’s Charter a step towards workers’ political representation? | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180526140715/http://socialistpartyscotland.org.uk/2009/11/26/is-the-peoples-charter-a-step-towards-workers-political-representation/ |archive-date = 26 May 2018 | url = http://socialistpartyscotland.org.uk/2009/11/26/is-the-peoples-charter-a-step-towards-workers-political-representation/ | website = socialistpartyscotland.org.uk | publisher = Socialist Party Scotland | date = 26 November 2009 |access-date = 26 May 2018}} 9. ^{{cite web | last = Saddiq | first = Amina | title = The problem with the "People's Charter" | url = http://www.workersliberty.org/story/2009/02/21/problem-peoples-charter | website = workersliberty.org | publisher = Workers' Liberty | date = 21 February 2009 |access-date = 24 June 2010}} Further reading
