Gchq Trade Union Ban (EDM415)

Gchq Trade Union Ban

EDM number 415 in 1993-94, proposed by Graham Allen on 24/01/1994.

That this House notes the 10th anniversary of the ban on trade union membership by the Government on 25th January 1994 and regrets that discussions at the International Labour Organisation, and more recently between the Prime Minister and the Council of Civil Service Unions, have failed to lead to the removal of the ban; further notes that the role of GCHQ has changed with the ending of the Cold War, and that the time has come for the restoration of the trade union rights removed in 1984; and calls upon the Government to initiate further discussion with the council of Civil Service Unions to bring the industrial relations position at GCHQ back into conformity with ILO Convention 87, which the Government signed in 1949 and which remains an international obligation.

This motion has been signed by a total of 264 MPs, 3 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
