This second ‘In Conversation’ is a result of what we all hope will become an
annual collaboration between The Institute of Employment Rights, The Haldane
Society of Socialist Lawyers <http://www.haldane.org/>  and the
<http://www.tuc.org.uk/> TUC

2011 is an important anniversary year for the trade union movement as it
marks 100 years since the 1911 Transport Workers strike
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1911_Liverpool_general_transport_strike;>  50
years since the Council of Europe
<http://www.coe.int/T/DGHL/Monitoring/SocialCharter/;> ’s Social Charter and
10 years since the Friction Dynamics Strike

Set in this context, the topic of ‘Conversation’ for 2011 will be trade
union rights: where they are now, and where we want them to be in future.
