That this House notes with deep concern proposals contained in the CBI report on the UK Labour Market published on 21 June 2010; further notes that the UK already has some of the toughest legal restrictions on the right to strike in the advanced world; believes that these restrictive proposals are unnecessary and unfair and agrees with the Trades Union Congress that the CBI proposals add up to a charter for exploitation by unscrupulous employers; recognises that free and independent trades unions are a force for good in UK society; and further believes that there should be no further weakening of trade union rights restricting their ability to protect workers and ensure fairness at work.

Trade union reform
I would like to support this early day motion wholeheartedly The British trade unions face the strictest restrictions in Europe and are on a par with unions in many repressive nations across the globe. We heard these words ten years ago from Tony Blair and they are still true today. It is no wonder that the CBI, IOD and characters like Mr Beecroft want further restrictions, but i urge politicians not to listen to the rantings of a man connected with Wonga which is under investigation by the OFT for possible criminal action, but to consider the views of ordinary people There are 7m such ordinary people in UK unions.
