Danger! Tory proposals would hit workers health and safety protection and confront the EU

(Dave Joyce National Health, Safety & Environment Officer of the Communication Workers Union.)

2007 saw a series of dramatic attacks on health and safety at work rights by the opposition Tory Party, signalling a serious warning to workers about what would be in store if we were ever unfortunate enough to see the return of a Tory Government under David Cameron's leadership.



John Redwood, the right-wing, Thatcherite former cabinet minister who is heading the Conservative Party's Economic Competitiveness Policy Review group published an extreme package of proposals in August that would hit working people, entitled "Freeing Britain to Compete". At the heart of this major Tory policy review, welcomed by party leader David Cameron, were a series of proposals aimed at loosening health and safety regulations and scrapping key legislation imposed by Parliament and Brussels, none of which could be implemented without breaching current EU legal requirements and could only be done by leaving the EU. It would also be unlikely to achieve the savings claimed according to a recent analysis published by the TUC.



The Proposals recommend a repeal of the Working Time Regulations plus the UK to opt-out from Europe's Social Chapter, a Watering-Down of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations to weaken the "Risk Assessment" requirements placed on employers and a review of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. The report further claims that the inspection regime has no sense of proportion and “fails to consider business implicationsâ€

this is it , You've got to look at the people who back the Tories Financially " to be looked after" , especially all those True Blue Big Building Firms and look at their appalling Accident and H&S record . These are the sort of people who like to sack a few people a week to keep the lads on their toes ; no wonder they want everything watered down or stopped . Remember the time One Big Builder had Ricky Tomlinson thrown in jail on trumped up charges with the Builders Strike in 1974.

Good on the CWU , RM 's compliance record is appalling , keep giving :lfo & :cfo and their lackies hell ! ,DJ Top Trade Unionist .
