Union campaigns for European-style legislation to protect UK workers

摘要

A ROW has broken out between the Transport and General Work-ers Union and the Welsh Assembly's economic development minister Michael German over massive job losses in Wales. The union blamed 3,400 job losses at the Corus, Sony and Panasonic factories in Wales on the UK's 'soft touch' employment legislation. The TGWU also called for tougher French and German-style social legislation to be introduced here. It wants multinationals to be forced to involve their workforces and trade unions fully before final decisions are made on redundancies.
