Ucatt and Unite invite you to join them to lobby parliament against the Coalition’s attacks on health and safety on Tuesday June 11th 2013.

The unions stated: “David Cameron has declared that he is ‘waging war against the excessive health and safety culture that has become an albatross around the neck of British businesses’. Yet in 2011/12, 49 construction workers were killed in accidents at work”.

Ucatt and Unite will be taking a stand against the government’s attack on the protection of staff in the workplace and those who support their campaign are invited to join them at their lobby, as well as the post-lobby meeting between 1pm and 3pm in the House of Commons, Committee Room 14, where there will be speakers and discussion about the issues at hand.

The IER is holding a conference on June 12th in London and July 3rd in Liverpool, at which the UK’s leading experts on health and safety legislation will explain, critique and debate the Coalition’s attacks on the health and safety of employees and how trade unions can help protect those they represent.
