Trade Union Bill

Proceeding contribution from Alan Johnson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 September 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Trade Union Bill.

I have been generous to fellow members of the Johnson clan, but the hon. Gentleman must understand the difference. In those organisations and countries where a 75% threshold is set for industrial action, it is 75% of those voting. Perhaps there should be thresholds in some of the constitutional referendums

that we have. Perhaps leaving the European Union should require a 75% yes vote because it is a major constitutional issue, but it would be 75% of those voting. That is the difference with this legislation.
