HC Deb 18 January 1980 vol 976 cc889-90W
Mr. Marlow

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will take steps to make illegal the practice whereby trade unions take industrial action against managements which use non-unionised sub-contract labour.

Mr. Mayhew

Clause 15 of the Employment Bill would make it unlawful for industrial action to be taken by the employees of one employer to compel those working for another employer, at another place of work, to join a trade union. We have no other plans for legislation in this area.
