Support the Lawful Industrial Action Bill - Lobby of Parliament

Wednesday 13th October 2010
12:30pm to 4:00pm

John McDonnell MP is sponsoring the Lawful Industrial Action (Minor Errors) Bill to tackle the increasing practice by employers of using minor technical errors in the balloting process - which have no material effect on the outcome - to take unions to court in order to prevent them from taking industrial action.

The Bill is being debated in Parliament on Friday 22 October, and requires 100 MPs to attend the debate and to vote for it. Please come to Parliament to lobby your MP to attend and vote for the Lawful Industrial Action (Minor Errors) Bill.
