We need a new charter for union rights!

Socialist Outlook no. 14 · 114 words

We need to go beyond the piecemeal approach of Blair and the TUC.

We need to dismantle the Tory terror not trim a tentacle or two. We need not an isolated change here and there but a new, integrated, code of workers’ rights, a blueprint for strong trade unionism that we can campaign for.

Starting with organising and recognition. But going beyond it.

We need a new charter for union rights hinging on:

The right to organise

The right to recognition

The right to strike

The right to picket

The right to take solidarity action

The right to make our own union rules

The to a minimum wage

The right to take political action
