David Davis has described parts of his party’s Trade Union Bill as being like Franco’s dictatorship.
Speaking on Sky News’s Murnaghan programme, the Tory MP criticised inclusion of proposed restrictions on pickets in the bill.
He said: “I agree with most of the trade union bill. I think it’s very sensible…but there are bits of it which look OTT, like requiring pickets to give their names to the police
Edinburgh Branch 10th September 2015 Meeting.At the above meeting we had a discussion on the current Tory proposed Trade Union Legislation, and it was resolved that we send the following motion to the E.C."The Edinburgh Branch urges the E.C. to make a statement regarding the SPGB's opposition to any proposed Government encroachment on any future Trade Union activity".Agreed 3 – 0. Three members present.
This is another example of the anti-worker attitude of this overtly pro-capitalist government that should be hammered home by the SPGB with a full frontal assault.Issuing press statements are fine, but use of the type of graphic orientated attacks, seen recently aimed at Corbyn, over social media etc would be a good idea.You bring all the anti-human policies of this government together and you got TNT.
