The BBC has posted the following news report on their website:
Labour spokeswoman Lucy Powell said check-off was used by a host of leading British companies, including Rolls-Royce, GKN and Balfour Beatty and said this and other changed were a “union-bashing exercise” in the run-up to the election.
“It is election time. We have a Tory minister coming to the House in a pre-election union-bashing exercise… there is a clear strategy in his government to public servants up and down the country. The government ‘doesn’t value the work you do and is hell-bent on disenfranchising you and weakening your rights at work’.”
