What About the Workers?

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

A weekly guide to your rights at work.
4: Trade Union Membership
Do you have a right to join a trade union? Are you guaranteed the right to attend union meetings and elect officials? Can you be sacked for working to rule? If your firm has a closed-shop agreement, can you be sacked if you leave your trade union? In the next week new laws become effective which crucially affect your rights as trade union and non-trade union members.
Paul Heiney explores the controversial area of trade union law as it affects ordinary workers.
