Unite hails ‘historic’ Supreme Court decision on union rights
Focus on equal access to assisted death rather than risks of legalisation for oppressed groups wrongheaded, MPs and campaigners say
UNITE has hailed a Supreme Court decision on union rights as a “historic” legal judgment after Britain’s highest court backed calls to oppose undermining collective bargaining.
The union said that the outcome of its six-year case will affect union members across the country after Kostal Ltd, a car components manufacturer from Rotherham, sought to undermine union negotiations by offering unlawful inducements.
After Kostal and Unite signed a union recognition agreement, the next round of wage negotiations in October 2015 resulted in a formal union ballot of members in which 80 per cent voted against the offer.
