Working for the Economy - Trade Union Reform

Graham Watson

16th September 2015

Here is an excellent research document from the New Economics Foundation looking at the importance of trade unions in the modern economy and, perhaps, as a counterpoint to yesterday's Trade Union Bill.

I've just glanced at it but there's a lot of really useful data and whilst I'm unlikely to agree with all of the analysis, I still think that unions have an important role to play in the modern economy in enhancing productivity, employee education and protecting workers - not least in teaching.
