Barry attended a demonstration outside Coventry Town Hall in solidarity with bin lorry drivers who were on strike due to unsatisfactory pay and conditions despite continuing to work throughout the pandemic.
Speaking at the demonstration Barry said;
“I feel ashamed that the Coventry bin strikers are having to fight a Labour council to get the proper rate for their job. This is not the spirit of the Labour movement that was founded over 100 years ago. We should never forget that we were created by the union movement to fight in Parliament for the rights of working people.”
