Protect the Right to Strike - #killthebill. 


TUC lobby of Parliament


 

Don't forget to join the TUC Rally and lobby of Parliament this coming
Monday, November 2nd in  <https://www.c-h-w.com/contact/transport/> Central
Hall, Westminster, London Start: 1:00pm and Lobby from 2.30pm.

If you haven't done so yet, contact your MP to make an appointment. 

Whether Tory or Labour, you MP should have an opinion on this Bill and more
importantly they should know your opinion on the Bill. 

Labour MPs have expressed opposition but Tory MPs are likely to carry this
Bill through unless faced by mass opposition both inside and outside
Parliament.  

Below are some suggested questions to ask your MP on the day. If you cannot
attend in person, you can still let your MP know your feelings.
<https://www.mysociety.org/wehelpyou/contact-your-mp/?gclid=CO-98YH4yMgCFROe
GwodJ20Jfg> email your Conservative M.P. here with the following questions: 

The site will identify the party of your Member of Parliament: 

1.	With recorded strikes at a historic low, what is the real purpose of
the Trade Union Bill?
2.	How will allowing for the recruitment of agency labour during an
industrial dispute improve an already tense situation?
3.	It is unprecedented that a governing party would use its
parliamentary majority to legislate to cut off funding for the opposition
party, is this not anti-democratic?
4.	Given the police do not wish to be given any new powers, why is the
Government pressing ahead with the proposals for identifiable "picket
supervisors" who must show a "letter of authority" to almost anybody who
asks? This seem draconian and could lead to a new round of "blacklisting".
5.	Why is the Government refusing to accept secret, supervised
workplace ballots and electronic balloting for union members taking part in
industrial action ballots?
