IT'S NOT OVER...
Now we need to keep up the momentum from Manchester and continue the campaign against the damaging and divisive trade union bill.
Here’s what you can do:
1. Stand with us: protect the right to strikeWill you help us fight the trade union bill? Sign up to join our campaign and we'll keep you in the loop with the latest information and actions you can take. |
2. Don't let employers use agency temps to break strikesOne of the most harmful proposals in the Government's trade union reform plan is overturning the longstanding ban on using agency temp workers to break strikes. Allowing employers to use agency workers in this way would undermine all workers. |
3. Let us vote! Allow unions to ballot members onlineThe Government believe that too many strike ballots are being won on too low a voter turn out, calling their legitimacy into question. They've proposed a Trade Union Bill to tackle this, which would set a minimum threshold of 50% casting a vote for the ballot to be deemed legitimate. |
4. We want to hear from youNo-one takes the difficult decision to go on strike lightly. But protecting the right to take strike action is key to making employers listen to workers. If you have been involved in a recent dispute that has resulted in strike action, please tell us your story. |
