Ask your Tory MP not to overrule Lords amendments to the Trade Union Bill

On Wednesday 27 April the Trade Union Bill is likely to get its final vote in the House of Commons, when MPs will decide whether or not to accept a series of amendments made by Peers.

These changes offer a chance to remove many of the most damaging parts of the Bill. We need to keep up the pressure, especially with Conservative MPs.

You have a Conservative MP. Can you help by writing to them now?

The government have already made several concessions, but the House of Lords were scathing in deliberating the bill, passing a series of moderate but effective amendments that cut off a number of the more partisan and damaging new measures.

We know many Conservative MPs were uneasy about this, with a number speaking out in public, and more revealing concerns behind the scenes. This was something that continued into the Lords, with Conservative Peers joining opposing voices across the House.

Suddenly the government majority of 12 is looking much less solid. We need to make sure that Conservative MPs in particular listen to these sensible ideas, and don't just allow the government to push the bill through unamended.

Can you write to your MP now, to ask them to back the Lords' amendments?
