Richard Leonard backs ‘Nae Pasaran’ Labour law
RICHARD LEONARD has given his “wholehearted endorsement” to labour law reforms which would give workers a “Nae Pasaran” right to solidarity action.
The Scottish Labour leader, who will address trade unionists at the three-day gathering today, has backed the Charter of Workers’ Rights for Scotland, a new document published by the Institute of Employment Rights (IER) calling for a massive shake-up of Scottish workplaces.
It calls for the Scottish government to establish a new position of labour secretary and says the devolved administration should use “coercive powers” to shift the balance of labour laws in favour of workers.
