Following the Trade Union Rights and Freedom Bill failing to be alloted time for discussion at its first reading on 2nd March (see Hansard), John McDonnell MP has now tabled the Bill for a second reading on 19th October 2007.

To support the 2nd reading, the United Campaign has organised a demonstration and rally for 18th October at Westminster and are asking supporters to join the postcard campaign asking MPs to remain in the House of Commons on 19th October to show their support for the Bill.

Speakers at the Rally

• John Hendy QC – IER Chairman
• John McDonnell MP
