Congress 2000

The 132nd Trades Union Congress, to be held in Glasgow on 11-14

September, will be addressed by chancellor of the exchequer Gordon Brown

and Scotland's first minister Donald Dewar, among other outside

speakers.

One of the key areas of debate will be employment rights. While motions

generally welcome the Employment Relations Act, particularly the

statutory recognition framework, a number of unions are calling for

barriers to recognition to be removed and the repeal of trade union law

brought in under the Tories.
