Clause 23 - Inducements relating to union membership
Employment Relations Bill
10:30 am
Mr Bill Tynan (Hamilton South, Labour)
I hope that I can help the hon. Gentleman. Obviously, if a member of a union were acting in a detrimental fashion to the employer's business, I would expect the union to ensure that that ceased. Therefore, I cannot understand the hon. Gentleman's explanation. Can he try again to indicate why a trade union member would not simply resign from a union and the services it provides, and just act as an employee with the employer?
