Purpose of the consultation
The
Equality, Local Government and
Communities Committee is undertaking an inquiry into the general principles
of the Trade
Union (Wales) Bill. Further details about the Bill and the accompanying Explanatory
Memorandum can be found on the Bill page.
Terms of reference
The
Committee’s terms of reference for its inquiry are:
To
consider -
·
the
general principles of the Trade Union (Wales) Bill
and the need for legislation to ensure the continued and effective delivery of
public services by dis-applying certain provisions of the UK Government’s Trade
Union Act 2016 as they apply to devolved Welsh authorities. The provisions to
be dis-applied are as follows:
o
the 40%
ballot threshold for industrial action affecting important public services,
o
powers to
require the publication of information on facility time and to impose
requirements on public sector employers in relation to paid facility time, and
o
restrictions
on deduction of union subscriptions from wages by employers;
·
any potential
barriers to the implementation of the Bill’s provisions and whether the Bill
takes account of them;
·
whether there
are any unintended consequences arising from the Bill; and
·
the financial implications
of the Bill (as set out in Part 2 of the Explanatory Memorandum).
