Speaking in the House of Lords on 14 July 2025
Debate
Employment Rights BillContribution
Obviously, the closed shop potentially has an impact too on innovation and merit. I am not saying that collective solidarity is not important because of course it is, and it is important that we continue to move forward in improving workers’ rights. But that cannot be at the expense of individual rights, individual performance and merit-based advancement. I believe that the closed shop is against that.
