Trade Union Legislation

EDM number 283 in 2010-12, proposed by Ian Lavery on 21/06/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Industrial relations.

That this House notes with deep concern proposals contained in the CBI report on the UK Labour Market published on 21 June 2010; further notes that the UK already has some of the toughest legal restrictions on the right to strike in the advanced world; believes that these restrictive proposals are unnecessary and unfair and agrees with the Trades Union Congress that the CBI proposals add up to a charter for exploitation by unscrupulous employers; recognises that free and independent trades unions are a force for good in UK society; and further believes that there should be no further weakening of trade union rights restricting their ability to protect workers and ensure fairness at work.

This motion has been signed by a total of 48 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
