DEPARTMENT FOR COMMUNITIES AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND TRADE UNIONS (No. 2)

Early day motion 447, tabled 18 July 2013 by Ian Davidson (Labour). Signed by 8 members.

That this House notes with concern the hostile behaviour towards trade unions in the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG); further notes that recent attacks include an announcement by DCLG, without consultation, that it will no longer allow the check-off system of payment of union subscriptions direct from wages, the cost of which is borne by the unions themselves; and calls on the Government to ensure that the Department reconsiders its decision on subscriptions and adopt a more constructive approach towards trade unions in future.

Signatures by party: Labour 7, Conservative 1.
