Clause 43 - Union learning representatives
Employment Bill
3:15 pm
Mr John Healey (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Education and Skills; Wentworth, Labour)
The model on which our proposals are based is drawn not from the Act but from legislation that is in place and that has worked well for many years. In the clause, we seek to create rights for trade union learning representatives that are broadly equivalent to those for stewards and similar lay officials. That is the model and the comparator that we used when developing our policy.
