Employment Rights BillContribution
The Government appear not to have considered that, in seeking to insulate the process from employer manipulation, they have in fact exposed it to the opposite danger, where the process can be manipulated by a union seeking to exclude or silence newly recruited or redeployed staff simply because their votes may not advance a particular campaign. That is not industrial democracy; that is electoral engineering.
