For the 3rd successive
year the United Campaign has encouraged an Early Day Motion
- EDM 1604 and so far 47 MPs have signed.
The United Campaign has
written to MPs who have yet to sign and we are encouraging
readers to write to their own MP, see the model letter below
and how to find out if your MP has signed.
The United Campaign hopes
to get support for amendments to the Employment Bill in the
House of Commons to incorporate all or some of the provisions
of the Trade Union Freedom Bill. We have amendments already
drafted which will be given to MPs who are prepared to raise
the issues involved.
Later in the year we intend
to encourage another Trade Union Freedom Bill – this
time as a 10 Minute Rule Bill. Along with our supporters we
hope to arrange a rally to coincide with the reading of the
bill.
In addition there have
been a number of union motions covering the Trade Union Freedom
Bill. We welcome the added impetus this gives to the campaign
for collective rights and the abolition of unlawful anti union
laws.
