Scottish Labour is leading the way in opposing the Tory plans to attack the rights of working people with their Trade Union Bill. There will be a ‘Week of Action’ against the Tory Trade Union Bill between Saturday 26th September and Saturday 3rd October. The Scottish Labour Campaign Pack will include a local press release, a petition template, guidance on holding public meetings, and a step by step guide for CLPs on how to engage with new affiliated supporters. There will also be a leaflet on the TU Bill to use locally.
Labour councils across Scotland will oppose the Tories’ Trade Union Bill. Labour-led councils including Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Fife and Renfrewshire are all ready to use the powers of local government to protect the rights of workers. The Leader of Scotland's largest council says Glasgow will defy the Bill in the Daily Record.
Labour has also called upon the SNP government in Edinburgh to use the powers of devolution to protect working people in Scotland from the Tories' attack on workers’ rights. Neil Findlay MSP asked the First Minister if the SNP Government would commit to the same opposition as Scottish Labour in refusing to cooperate with the UK trade union bill on changes to check off and facility time.
Patrick Maguire from Thompsons Solicitors says opposition from the Scottish Government has to be more than words.
In a desperate distraction strategy SNP activists tried to claim some Labour MPs abstained during the Bill's second reading. No Labour MP abstained.
