The Trade Union Bill – an assault on freedom of expression and assembly
Posted on 8th October 2015
On 14 September, the Trade Union Bill 2015-16 passed its second reading in the House of Commons. Introducing the bill, the Secretary of State of Business, Innovation and Skills, Sajid Javid, noted that unions had 'helped to secure higher wages, safer workplaces and stronger employee rights'. He noted they helped his own father, both when he was working in cotton mills and when challenging a whites-only policy that could otherwise have prevented him from becoming a bus driver.
If Mr Javid saw any contradiction between starting with such a strong endorsement of the social value of unions before introducing a bill designed explicitly to weaken their power, there was little sign of it, except for a vague assertion that 'the workplace has changed and evolved since then.' It is a truism to note that the workplace is not the same as it was several decades ago, but in an era where an estimated 744,000 people now work on insecure 'zero-hours' contracts with no guarantee of work from one day to the next, one could fairly question whether that change has been primarily for the better or the worse.
As pointed out by Labour MP Dennis Skinner during the debate, every trade union in the country – including those with no history of strike action such as the Royal College of Nursing – opposes the bill. But the new legislation is not simply an attack on the sizeable minority (almost six million people) of the British population that belong to unions – it also threatens the freedom to protest, freedom of expression and basic principles of workplace democracy.
The UK already has some of the most restrictive trade union laws in Western Europe. In a statement following his visit to the UK in January 2013, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the right to freedom of assembly Maina Kiai noted his concern about 'undue constraints on the right to strike' because of the prohibition, since 1982, on secondary picketing, i.e. strikes which take place in solidarity with direct industrial action. As well as calling on the UK to repeal these restrictions 'bring the UK into conformity with human rights law', he also noted his alarm regarding the practice of blacklisting union members in the building trade and the apparent failure to penalise those responsible.
In this context, it is easy to understand why Shadow First Secretary of State, Angela Eagle, argued that 'There is no necessity to employ the law in this draconian way, especially when this country already has the most restrictive trade union laws in Europe.' Opposition is not confined to the Labour Party. Vince Cable, the Liberal Democrat former business secretary, has described the bill as 'very provocative, highly ideological and [having] no evidence base at all' while the Conservative's own David Davis has called parts of the Bill reminiscent of Franco's Spain. The Bill is also condemned by key human rights organisations including Liberty, Amnesty International and the British Institute of Human Rights.
Democracy and Bureaucracy in the Workplace
Workers in the UK are already subject to very restrictive laws on balloting, which include the requirement that votes take place by post rather than electronically or in the workplace. Were the Bill to become law, the turnout in a ballot would be increased to 50%, meaning if fewer than this number voted the strike could not take place.
Furthermore, for a significant section of public sector workers defined as being in 'important public services,' a strike would require votes in favour by at least 40% of those eligible to vote. The group of workers potentially affected is widely defined, to include education and transport workers, and could potentially be supplemented by secondary legislation, thus allowing the government to react against sectors in dispute.
It has been widely pointed out that such requirements constitute an extreme hypocrisy from a government elected by only 24% of eligible voters. Along with this serious restriction on the possibility of strike action, even where supported by a majority, the Bill would also give the Certification Officer (the government regulator for trade unions) the power to investigate unions at will, and to remove and access their records, and would allow employers to hire strike-breaking agency staff thus reducing the effectiveness of any strike.
Picketing and Freedom of Assembly
Amongst the most controversial aspects of the Bill are its restrictive provisions on picketing. These include the introduction of a statutory requirement for a picket supervisor, who must wear an armband to identify herself and supervise the maximum stipulated number of workers on a picket line, which is currently set at six. Unions in breach could face crippling fines of up to £20,000.00.
These requirements are particularly concerning in light of the blacklisting scandal which has now been exposed in the building industry, whereby information is shared between employers and used to deny positions to those workers considered as 'troublemakers' because of their role, for example, in raising health and safety issues on sites. In addition, the case of John Catt has highlighted the retention of data regarding protestors who have not been convicted of criminal offences by police.
Taking this background into account, it is reasonable to assume that a picket supervisor would likewise be at risk of having data about their activities stored and shared by police and / or employers, interfering with their own rights to privacy. Furthermore, if these provisions deter pickets from taking place at all, this will have a serious impact on rights to freedom of assembly.
Freedom of Expression under Threat
The Bill further introduces a requirement for unions in industrial disputes to provide the police with two weeks' advance warning of posts on social media, such as Facebook or Twitter. This proposal betrays a deep – and quite possibly willful – misunderstanding of the way social media functions, being based on quick reactions, instantaneous comments and responses to opposed viewpoints.
But beyond this, it is deeply concerning that a power would effectively be introduced to monitor, in advance, online political posts, beyond the extensive criminal laws that already exist to protect against hate speech, harassment or incitement to violence. Like many measures introduced by the current government, this is likely to constitute a 'thin end of the wedge:' if such restrictions can be placed on striking workers, we cannot be confident that other protestors, campaigners or even those that disagree with government policies will not be next.
The right to strike in law
Article 11 of the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) provides a right to freedom of peaceful assembly and to freedom of association with others, including the right to form and to join trade unions. Although restrictions can be placed on these rights, they must be necessary on the basis of specific social needs such as national security, public safety, or the prevention of disorder or crime. Similarly, the right to freedom of expression can be limited, but only on the basis of certain specified grounds.
While the right to freedom of association under Article 11 ECHR was initially interpreted restrictively on the question of workers' collective rights, the position has altered in recent years. In the 2008 case of Demir & Baykara v Turkey, the European Court of Human Rights indicated that the right to bargain collectively had, in principle, become one of the essential elements of the "right to form and join trade unions" contained in Article 11 of the Convention.
The changing position reflected not only the practises of contracting states but also developments in both international and national Labour law. For example, the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, which is binding on governments of the EU, expressly states that workers have the right to take collective action, including strike action, to defend their interests. The UK has also ratified the International Labour Organisation (ILO) Convention No 98 concerning the Right to Organise and Bargain Collectively.
Importantly as regards the Trade Union Bill's proposals to impose differential conditions on public sector workers, the judgment in Demir & Baykara v Turkey also makes it clear that public officials should, in principle, enjoy the same rights as other citizens, with trade-union rights restricted only where this is necessary for the proper exercise of their public functions. The court further stated that the restrictions in Article 11 'are to be construed strictly' and that states have only a limited margin of appreciation in deciding what constitutes a 'pressing social need' to justify restrictions on freedom of association.
It is highly questionable whether there is any such 'pressing social need' to justify the changes being proposed in the Trade Union Bill. The justifications offered by Ministers focus on the inconvenience to non-striking workers caused to those on strike, but this is not a new or exceptional issue, and there is certainly no suggestion in any of the relevant international judgments or instruments that strikes are to be permitted only where they do not cause inconvenience.
Finally, it should be noted that these changes are being introduced at the same time as the government is proposing to repeal the Human Rights Act 1998 and replace it with a 'British Bill of Rights.' To date, the question of which rights will not be included within the new Bill has not been addressed, and it is quite possible that the rights engaged by this Bill – freedom of expression and assembly – will be part of the category not considered to be 'core' rights and therefore weakened. Seen in this light, the Trade Union Bill can be viewed as part of a wider assault on civil liberties, and campaigning against its introduction must be a priority.

Dilorom Omonullayeva, one of the foremost composers of Uzbekistan, and innovator in music, is the author of the hymns of the Sharq Taronalari Festival and Tashkent, over 200 pop songs, including more than 100 children, and among the major ones are two symphonies, a concert for piano with orchestra, two orchestra vocal-symphonic ode, and three sonatas for piano. Last year, she was awarded the title of professor of the State Conservatory of Uzbekistan. And that was not in the area she proved herself as a composer.
Dilorom Darvinovna how you came into the world of the composition, when they realized that you want to write music?
"I grew up in a family, whose members talked only about music. My mother's father Muhammadjon Holmuhammedov was one of the first actors at the Muqimiy Musical Theater. After his death, when he was only 41, my mom San'atkhon in her 12 began to sing in the same theater. However, she performed complex traditional songs and lost her voice, because she did not take care of it. She graduated from the department of folk instruments of the Conservatory and worked as a teacher for music. My father Darvin Omonullayev many years headed the department of methods of teaching music at the Pedagogical Institute. Of course, it is a great merit of my parents and of the environment of the great artists in which I grew up that I became a composer. Our house was always full of guests, including Botir Zokirov, Tamara Khonum, composers Mutal Burhonov, Doni Zokirov, Nabijon Khasanov, Mardon Nasimov and many others. I remember how Mutal Burhanov writing a new work, came to my father to play his work. Mom was laying the table, and we all participated in the discussion.
In my five, I started to study at the Uspensky School, at the piano department. At the same age I began to write music. It was my short fantasies that I composed for my toys sitting on the instrument. I started composing music professionally at 12, when started getting classes at a wonderful teacher, Professor Boris Zeidman."
When you wrote your first serious work?
"I think that one who can put his/her composition in music notes can be considered the composer. Many can imagine, but the most difficult thing - all this put into music book. Therefore, the first serious work of mine was waltz for piano, which I wrote in 12. The first major opus can be considered a suite for piano, chamber orchestra and percussion - symphonic work of five parts. I was 16 at that time, and I played the piano party myself at the premiere. It was a traditional concert of the Union of Composers, during which new works by local authors performed. I was pleased that my work was played on a par with the works of other composers.
Up to my 30, I wrote mostly academic music. I never thought that I would become a pop composer. And it all started with the fact that my husband, who worked on the radio as a music editor, asked me to write a song for the contest about Navruz. When my music 'Sumalak' on the poem by Pulat Mumin was recorded with the Variety-Symphonic Orchestra, I started receiving lots of offers. I got attracted to this area so that still live and create in it. Actually, I loved to sing since my childhood. I was even invited to one of the most popular ensembles. But then my father said I should choose one direction. "There are lots of singers, but composers – not," said my father, and I followed his advice. I fully devote myself to composing."
Last year you were awarded the title of Professor…
"Yes, this is another creative period in my life - work in the Conservatory as head of the pop singing department. I created a curriculum and literature on this new direction. I have written seven textbooks, including 'Manual for masters and bachelors', textbook on vocal singing for the first course of master's. They are introduced in the educational process of musical colleges, lyceums and universities of the country. In 2015, I presented 'Variety and Jazz vocalize', the songs without words, a kind of sketches for a voice. It accumulates a variety of styles, and each vocalize I dedicate to one of my cult figures or teachers. In addition, I am proud of my students, including Sevara Nazarkhan, Sogdiana, Matin, Dilnoza Ismiaminova and others."
Do you write music in rather diverse genres. Which one do you prefer?
"I believe that the composer should be able to write in any genre. I am in huge demand of pop singers, thus in recent years I have worked in pop music. However, I always find some time for the academic music. For example, the work 'Ko'ngil Sohili' on the poem by Sirojiddin Sayyid I wrote in a new genre - a symphony for chorus a cappella.
I am dreaming is to write a symphony, musical, opera, and ballet. The work in the Conservatory takes a lot of my time. I really want to write about the age of Amir Temur, Bibikhonim."
Dilorom Omonullayeva really has plenty of ideas. Some of them have even been born at the time of our conversation. You can only envy her activity and vitality, which, of course, lead her to even greater success. Who knows, probably very soon the audience will be presented with new works of the composer.

Holiday bazaars begin in earnest at Lutheran church
The divine smell wafting from the kitchen of Akeley's First Lutheran Church was man-made, not heaven scent, no pun intended.
Or, in this case, woman made.
The church's annual Taste of the Seasons, a major fundraiser, filled the parish hall Saturday and no doubt lingered through Sunday's services.
Handmade gifts, hand-baked treats and a Danish brunch greeted guests.
"We used to call it Taste of Christmas but we moved it forward so our seasonal residents could participate," said church member Peg Davies.
Lutheran ladies' aid groups have evolved into "Church Women's" groups, but are a mainstay nonetheless in keeping rural churches alive.
"The 'C' is for coolest, because we are," joked Carole Ann Morris, president of the FLCW (First Lutheran Church Women.)
She was wearing a stuffed catnip mouse as an oversized lapel pin.
The church's largest fundraiser has been going for about 10 years, Morris estimated, maybe longer.
"We meet once a quarter, maybe oftener, for events like this," Morris said.
"We typically serve 100 to 125," Davies added. "That's a lot of meatballs. Plus the creamed cheese mashed potatoes. It's amazing what the gals put together. I can't take much credit for it because I'm not very talented."
The churchwoman generally meet in mid-winter to strategize on the fall event.
They hold craft and baking days closer to the event.
One day is spent making cake donuts, which are then packaged and priced. Then there's a biscotti day. Same routine.
Cookies - yup. Breads, lefse, ya sure, you betcha. All for sale.
Then there's the abeleskiver, made and served piping hot the day of the event.
The Danish pancake recipe is hand-written on a piece of cardboard closely guarded by Phyllis Carlson. She gets out her abeleskiver pan, oils it up and pours pancake batter into it. The golf-ball sized cakes are turned when browned and done in minutes.
They can be coated with a cinnamon-sugar mix, slathered in jam or applesauce or served with traditional syrups, Carlson said.
The recipe for the Danish meatballs ("You can just call them Scandinavian,") was from a parish member who has since passed on.
Plate after plate of heaping mashed potatoes, meatballs and gravy is slid across the counter to the long line that queued up 15 minutes before the 11 a.m. serving time. The kitchen is a well-rehearsed battalion of cooks and bottle washers.
"They certainly have a very strong presence, there's no question about it," said Pastor Darrell Morton of the group of 26 or so woman that make up the FLCW.
"There's a huge volunteer core that makes things happen and of course, no small part of that are the women," he said, trying to be politically correct. "But I would say it's more than just the woman's groups."
Then the quarterly meetings will resume, once the kitchen has been cleaned up.

Laverne Cox using his male privilege to defend a child rapist and murderer while actively trying to play down the murder of a black girl as a "gangland killing". No, the murder of a 4 foot 2 child is not a "gangland"thing. It's a sadistic, male thing. This is what the worlds most prominent SCAM has decided to throw his Hollywood weight behind. Truly telling that Trans (wo)men's priorities are behind that of violent men who prey on women and young girls.
Orange Is The New Black actor Laverne Cox launched a public campaign this week in support of a male incarcerated for the rape and murder of a thirteen-year-old girl and abuse of her corpse, because that man now considers himself to be "transgender".
Cox uses the fame generated by recent acting success in an attempt to create sympathy for the convicted child-killer and his quest to medically feminate and be transferred to a female prison. "I want my voice to be heard, I want my dreams to matter, I want people to know who I am because tomorrow is not promised," reads Cox.
Laverne Cox's video has been widely promoted as "Laverne Cox Reads A Letter From A Transwoman Currently In Prison", but this isn't the first publicized "letter" from Synthia China Blast, born Luis Morales.
In 2004 Synthia China Blast emulated the New York Zodiac Killer Heriberto…

2014 Whistle Punk
Red Blend
Malbec 67%
Petite Verdot 22%
Merlot 11%
The 2014 vintage was a growing season any winemaker would be happy with. I personally rated it a solid 8.5 on a scale of 0 to 10. Grape growers were able to hang decent amounts of fruit and have the grapes fully ripen come September and October. The grape varieties Malbec and Merlot performed magnificently. Petite Verdot fruit from warmer areas such as Walla Walla and Wahluke Slope is showing very well too. Great – ripe red and black berry flavors, fine grained tannins and decent acidity were what characterizes the fruit which ultimately was crafted into our 2014 Triumph.
Our 2014 TriUmph was crafted using grapes from multiple vineyard sources. The Bob Buoy vineyard located in the Yakima Valley AVA region supplied the Malbec and Merlot. Bob is one of our State's finest. He is refreshing to work with as he is totally dedicated to growing superb quality grapes. His vineyard site is just west of the town of Benton City. The terroir is amazing for growing red wine grapes varieties possessing impressive depth and structure. Only 18 – 24 inches of clay loam top soil exist prior to encountering fractured calcareous basalt and finally basalt bedrock. The vineyard growth is easily manipulated as it is easy to water stress. The Petite Verdot hails from several Walla Walla area vineyards.
As is customary, all fruit was handpicked into ½ ton bins. Within hours, the fruit arrived at the winery to ensure the highest quality possible. All of the grapes were sorted by hand to glean out any damaged fruit or MOG (material other than grapes) such as leaves. The grapes clusters were destemmed and the berries lightly crushed into one – ton fermentation bins. The yeast fermentation proceeded at temperatures ranging from 55 – 85 degrees Fahrenheit over a thirteen day period. Once the yeast fermentation reached a Brix reading of 10, the wine was pressed off. The malo – lactic fermentation was permitted to occur while the wine was in barrel utilizing native ML bacteria. Twenty-four months of barrel aging in 100% new French oak was deemed perfect. The wine was tightly filtered at bottling.
Brimming with bold raspberry – black fruit flavors and aromas, the 2014 TriUmph packs quite a punch. The addition of a bit of toasted coconut and caramel compliments of all that new French oak added yet more to this wines impressive stature. Tannins are there and require a few years to tame. For those not willing to cellar this wine a while, definitely decant a good 45 minutes prior to enjoying. Should one wish to deviate from beef steak, TriUmph will pare well with marinated – grilled eggplant served with wild rice risotto. Or, you who know me guessed it……… sautéed duck breast finished with a port reduction sauce.

Chelsea Handler Slams Caitlyn Jenner
Chelsea Handler begs a question we've been hearing a lot lately – has Caitlyn Jenner oversaturated the media?
"I feel like it is a lot at the same time," Fox News says she told reporters in Beverly Hills on Tuesday. "I feel like there is a way to make a statement that can be powerful and then let it breathe a little bit."
Caitlyn Jenner, who came out to the world that she was transitioning through her famed interview with Diane Sawyer and has steadily dripped into the media's headlines ever since, hitting her peak last week with the release of the premier episode of her E! docuseries I Am Cait.
"I definitely was very interested in the Diane Sawyer interview," says Handler. "After that I kind of lost interest."
Chelsea is also transitioning, professionally, from her 7-year late night show spot with the same network, E!, to content streaming service Netflix. The comedienne and talk show host will release four documentaries with Netflix as well as a talk show due next year, she she claims "I don't know what streaming is. I don't understand how it works."
She may have a point there. Then again, she constantly flashes her melons.
