Employment Rights BillContribution
Then there is the issue of access. The Bill, as currently drafted, allows trade unions to gain access to the workforce even before there is agreement or determination on what the bargaining unit is. I believe this is a major step. Access, particularly by external union officials, is not a trivial or frictionless matter; it disrupts business, introduces outside actors into internal operations, and may create tension or division, especially where the scope of the proposed bargaining unit is contested.
