Trade
Union Bill – Mass Rally to Oppose
“In simple terms this Bill
is about destroying trade unions at the behest of the UK government. The Tories are saying you shouldn't belong to a union and if you do we
will make it virtually impossible for you to take collective and political
action to defend your job, pay and conditions. The public sector is being
targeted because unions campaign against their planned destruction of public
services, but they will come for the private and voluntary sector next. It's
time for us to mobilise the majority to wrest control back from the minority”.
Read UNISON's briefing briefing
on the Scottish implications of the Bill. It has now been confirmed that
ministers running English departments like health, communities and justice will
be able to direct Scottish public bodies. This is probably the greatest
challenge to the devolution settlement since the Scottish Parliament’s
inception.
UNISON thinks MPs should be focusing on
the real problems this country faces, not undermining people’s right to be
supported at work.
