Who should attend?
This meeting is open to all trade unionists and anyone interested in defending our democratic rights. Come along to find out more about the threat the Trade Union Bill poses to our rights to organise effectively and join the discussion about how we can mobilise effectively to stop these proposals.
Why should you attend?
This autumn, MPS and peers will discuss the Trade Union Bill which threatens the basic right to strike. For the first time, employers will be able to break strikes by bringing in agency workers. The bill proposes huge restrictions on peaceful picketing and protests, including what they post on Facebook and Twitter - two weeks before they strike. The bill also imposes thresholds on strike ballots as well as many other restrictions on trade unionists carrying their duties to represent members. Organisations such as Liberty and Amnesty International, alongside others and trade unions themselves have spoken out against the legislation.
