On Tuesday 9
February, as part of the strangely-titled “heart unions” week, the TUC will be
staging a big workplace meeting, which we can all access online.
Although you
may need to use your own device if your employer (like mine) blocks live
streaming of videos over their network.
The point of
the week is to highlight the threat which the Trade Union Bill poses, not just to
our trade unions but to our human and civil rights.
Stronger
trade unions are good
for equality, good for health
and safety and union members earn
more than non-members.
Not only do
we need to get this message across to the three quarters of workers in the UK
who are not union members – we also need to engage more effectively with our
members to develop informed and assertive rank and file activism.
I hope the
big workplace meeting contributes to these objectives.
