Proceeding contribution from John McDonnell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 4 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Employment Bill [Lords].
Employment Bill [Lords]
Any laws that undermine union members' democratic participation in and control of that union need to be reformed. That is what our amendments are all about. I agree with my right hon. Friend. There can be poor employers in the public and private sectors. The differences have now gone and complications are experienced just as much in the public sector, as units have been broken down and forms of flexible working have been introduced, even right down to hot-desking, all of which make it difficult to maintain records of membership.
