It's only at the consultation stage, but those in any doubt about Tory plans for the UK might be shocked to find that even a Tory leadership candidate from 2005, David Davis, has raised his eyebrows at some aspects of proposed Union reforms:
These include the suggestion that unions will have to give two weeks’ notice to the police if they plan to campaign via social media.
A consultation document also suggests that approved picket supervisors would have to take “reasonable steps” to tell police the name, contact details and location of those on the picket line. Workers would also have to wear an armband or badge to identify themselves.
.... Davis said: “I agree with most of the trade union bill. I think it’s very sensible … but there are bits of it which look OTT, like requiring pickets to give their names to the police force. What is this? This isn’t Franco’s Britain, this is Queen Elizabeth II’s Britain.”
My highlighting.
