Centrica

Early day motion 884, tabled 14 September 2020 by Lord Cryer (Labour). Signed by 68 members.

That this House recognises the constructive approach taken by GMB Union and Unison in negotiations around their members' pay and conditions with British Gas and its parent company Centrica; condemns the tactics employed by that company in commencing those negotiations with threats to dismiss and re-engage its UK workforce on lesser terms; commends British Gas workers who while furloughed during the covid-19 outbreak voluntarily delivered thousands of food parcels with the Trussell Trust; and calls on the company to do the right thing, withdraw the Section 188 notice of potential redundancies and negotiate in good faith with workers’ unions.

Signatures by party: Labour 41, Scottish National Party 16, Labour/Co-operative 3, Liberal Democrat 2, Plaid Cymru 2, Alliance 1, DUP 1, Green 1, Independent 1.
