To develop my noble friend Lady Coffey’s theme, it would seem that the offering of trade unions is not as attractive to those in the private sector as it is in the public sector; indeed, it is not attractive to 87.7% of the private sector workforce. Therefore, I agree with her that the unavoidable conclusion to this section being in the Bill is that it represents an attempt by the trade unions to legislate their way back to relevance. If nothing else, that is very sad.
