THE TRADE UNION BILL

“A savage and vindictive assault on uk employment rights” Caroline  Lucas MP

On  new laws to restrict trade unions.  “For a Government elected by only 24 per cent of eligible voters to propose a 40 per cent minimum turnout for public sector strikes reeks of hypocrisy.(…) If the Bill is passed into law, I would be prepared to join trade unionists and others in taking non-violent direct action to resist it.”

·        The government proposals will impose greater restrictions on trade unions than any other voluntary sector membership organisations
·        Employers will be able to bring in agency workers with a view to breaking strikes, regardless of the consequences for health and safety.
·        Trade union protests and pickets will be subject to levels of public and police scrutiny and controls that go far beyond what is fair and acceptable in a modern democracy.(see TUC Briefing on TU bill).

The right to strike must be protected. We will not accept restrictions that make the withdrawal of our labour meaningless by allowing agency replacement staff. We will not accept restrictions that make strike action near impossible to organise.  Our trade unions need to work together to resist any such changes to our rights. “ Romayne Phoenix, Green Party Trade Union Liaison Officer

  2. Well, nowadays it has become very hard to reduce employment problem from every country. But if we visit some agency then from there we can see that some employment agencies are going to hire some experienced workers and from maid agency in singapore. And this maid agency always try to provide us the good maids who can give us the best services.
