Since 1997, the Labour Government
Since 1997, the Labour Government has introduced new rights for
people at work and new opportunities for trade unions to represent
their members.We see modern, growing trade unions as an important
part of our society and economy.They provide protection and advice
for employees, and we welcome the positive role they have played in
developing a modern model of social partnership with business representatives.
The Labour Party has agreed a set of policies for the workplace
(the Warwick Agreement) and we will deliver them in full.They
will be good for employees and for the economy.
