Department For Communities And Local Government And Trade Unions (No. 2)

EDM number 447 in 2013-14, proposed by Ian Davidson on 18/07/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Central government and Industrial relations.

That this House notes with concern the hostile behaviour towards trade unions in the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG); further notes that recent attacks include an announcement by DCLG, without consultation, that it will no longer allow the check-off system of payment of union subscriptions direct from wages, the cost of which is borne by the unions themselves; and calls on the Government to ensure that the Department reconsiders its decision on subscriptions and adopt a more constructive approach towards trade unions in future.

This motion has been signed by a total of 8 MPs.
