Union Rights In The Us

EDM number 1896 in 2008-09, proposed by Jon Cruddas on 15/07/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Industrial relations and North America.

That this House notes that the US has not yet ratified International Labour Organisation Conventions 87 or 98 on freedom of association and free collective bargaining, and that harassment of workers trying to form trade unions is widespread and leads to 30,000 sackings every year; believes that the Employee Free Choice Act currently before Congress would give US workers the choice about whether to belong to a trade union which can collectively bargain with their employers; and calls on UK companies operating in the US publicly to support the Employee Free Choice Act and on hon. Members' colleagues in Congress to enact the Employee Free Choice Act without delay.

This motion has been signed by a total of 72 MPs.
