Employment Bill [Lords]

To re-establish my credentials as a socialist, may I ask why, after 11 years of this Government, trade unionists still do not have the same rights that they had after Taff Vale in 1906? Why under this Government can we have events such as Gate Gourmet where people can be sacked on a whim's notice, having been undermined by agency workers? The proposed legislation does not even address those issues. How is it that we can wait so long under a Labour Government and yet trade unionists here are still denied the rights that other trade unionists have across Europe?
