Trade Union Representation (EDM166)

Trade Union Representation

EDM number 166 in 1994-95, proposed by Doug Hoyle on 30/11/1994.

That this House notes that in a MORI survey commissioned by MSF, the union for skilled and professional people, and published on 30th November, 88 per cent. of those questioned, including 79 per cent. of Conservative voters, agreed with the statement that people at work should have the right to be represented by a trade union; further notes that at a meeting with the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Employment, the honourable Member for Amber Valley, on 30th November, MSF drew attention to three cases where the wish of employees to be represented by a trade union has been denied by the Royal Institute of British Architects, namely the Burnley Healthcare Trust and G. R. Scott Ltd. of Wakefield, and that, in the latter case, four employees with 60 years' service between them have been sacked for seeking union recognition; and therefore calls on the Government to take urgent action to deal with these abuses of human rights and introduce legislation to give employees the right to union representation and recognition. (Relevant registered interest declared.)

This motion has been signed by a total of 75 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
