Unions fail to unite against drive to privatise

Article Abstract:

The UK's public service unions have been unable to agree on a declaration criticizing Prime Minister Tony Blair's view that there should be greater private sector involvement in public services.

Unions prepare to campaign for recognition

Article Abstract:

Trade unions have given qualified approval to the UK government's Fairness at Work White Paper, which contains plans for significant changes to labour law. One of the most important changes will be to enforce collective bargaining where 40% of the relevant workforce support it, rather than just a simple majority of those voting. The White Paper also proposes a cut in the qualifying period for employment rights from two years to one, as well as the abolition of the upper limit on compensation for unfair dismissal.
