Ask your MP to support the Lawful Industrial Action (Minor Errors) Bill on
22nd October.

The Lawful Industrial Action (Minor Errors) Bill was introduced into
Parliament by John McDonnell, MP on 30th June 2010 and will have its second
reading on 22nd October. 

The Bill aims to simplify procedures around industrial action ballots and
notices and it won the unanimous support of delegates at TUC Congress in
Manchester. Recent 

disputes and court decisions have highlighted the extent to which UK laws
prevent unions acting upon the democratic decisions of their members.
Commenting on the restrictive

nature of current balloting laws, one judge recently noted that the original
purpose of the law was "not to create a series of traps or hurdles for the
union to negotiate....but to 

ensure a fair, open and democratic ballot". The law as it stands fails to
meet those standards. This Bill would go some way to promoting fairness and
protecting democratic decisions.
