Bill.

In this video the authors of our recent publication, Protect the Right to
Strike: Kill the Bill, Professor Keith Ewing and John Hendy QC discuss the
Trade Union Bill.

John Hendy QC says:

*         That this Bill is "an attack on the rights of unions having an
industrial voice" that also aims to exclude "unions from having a political
voice" as well as "an effective voice in civil society."

*         "Modern economists have pointed out that high levels of collective
bargaining and high levels of workplace rights actually are conducive to a
good economy [.] this bill is shooting the economy in the foot."

*         The bill can be considered "illegal in the sense that these
proposals are in breach of international treaties which Britain has ratified
and therefore in breach of international law."

Professor Keith Ewing says:

*         That this bill is "the most serious attack on trade union freedom
in a generation."

*         In particularly it is "a massive attack on public sector trade
unionism." There are 3 major attacks on public sector trade unionism and
these attacks are "one attacking financial security, two attacking workplace
representation and thirdly attacking the right to strike."

*         "a serious attack on the human rights of trade unions and civil
liberties of trade unions. And a serious attack on the right to freedom of
political expression." It is "an extraordinary step backwards into the
middle ages in terms of constitutional principle"
