> Cameron has now set a date for the EU referendum of 23 June 2016. But are you ready for the vote? 
> 
> While EU employment laws and the human rights convention offer some protection to UK workers - particularly under a government that aims to minimise workers’ rights where it can - many are concerned the dream of Social Europe has been corrupted and replaced with a neoliberal agenda.
> 
> EU economic policy emphasises austerity and incentivises governments to provide cheap labour over high-quality jobs; landmark cases such as those of Viking and Laval have found in favour of corporations’ right to search the globe for cheap labour over the right of workers to fair pay and conditions; and now TTIP threatens to give corporations enormous power over national policymaking.
> 
> Indeed, leading EU expert Michael Bowsher QC today warned that the trade deal poses a “real and serious risk” to the government’s ability to freely make decisions regarding the NHS.
>
