Our trade union rights are under assault. Now is the time to be part of the fightback - join us at this free Conference.

In the dying days of the Johnson government the Tories pushed through changes to the law that allowed employers to use agency labour to break a strike and up the amount of statutory damages that could be awarded against a union for backing its striking members.

Now, the Goverment is not only contemplating abolishing the Working Time Directive but is legislating to impose on striking unions a minimum service requirement, a legal obligation on unions to ensure that sufficient of their members are at work to provide a minimum service; in other words to undermine their own industrial action.

Come and join this free conference, to hear the case for why unions should be free of anti-union laws - free to protect their members, free to bargain on even footing, free to do as their members democratically choose, with a right to strike.

But over and above this, we will focus on the need to mobilise and support a major trade union campaign to fight against attacks on workers’ and union rights.

See you there.
