Dogs Of War Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 The Fox Hunting Ban was a stupid piece of legislation ,and should be the first to be dispatched to the bin. closely followed by the Smoking Ban , which has been responsible for hundreds of pubs closing since it was introduced.

Wildcat Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Wildcat do you have any particular "Anti union" law in mind 1980 Employment Act 1982 Employment Act Trade Union Act 1984 Employment Act 1988 http://www.historyandpolicy.org/papers/policy-paper-63.html#outflanking Alternatively rather than repeal a Trade Union Freedom Bill, would simplify balloting procedures, reintroduce a right to strike and bring our laws in line with those internationally that are relied upon by trade unionists across the world to defend workers against the brutality of the corporate requirement to maximise profit at any cost. http://www.unitedcampaign.org.uk/sitebody/projects/tufb.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
