Open for Decision GSP33/21 Presentation – To receive Mr L Gallagher, Unite the Union – Re. a Council Motion on Workers’ Rights to Trade Union Membership 1 Page 1 The Chairperson welcomed Mr L Gallagher, Unite the Union who gave a verbal presentation on Workers’ Rights to Trade Union Membership. The Chairperson reminded Members that they had been furnished with a copy of a letter which the Chief Executive had received in regards to this issue. Mr Gallagher thanked Members for affording him an opportunity to address the Committee on behalf of Unite. He referred to the context of the Motion which was to discuss the legal rights of workers to join trade unions and to discuss the benefits of trade union membership for both employers and employees. He said he was reluctant to discuss individual employers. Mr Gallagher said the relationship between employers and employees was unique, particularly in a weak labour market. He acknowledged the efforts of elected representatives to bring employment and prosperity to the North West which had, for many years, been considered an under-developed area. He stated that without collective organisation, employees had no way in which to increase their income, secure their future or improve working terms and conditions. He said being a member of a trade union provided a means for workers to stand strong together. He referred to the many rights and benefits currently enjoyed by employees resulting from the struggles of the trade unions throughout the generations. These included the right to paid holidays, the right to a regulated working week, the right not to be arbitrarily dismissed, together with maternity and paternity rights. He said trade unions set pay standards and provided worker protection and employees who were members of a trade union benefitted from its collective bargaining powers to negotiate with employers on their behalf. He said this basic right provided trade union members with greater powers than they would have as an individual. Mr Gallagher stated that across Britain and Ireland, Unite the Union had more than 1.3m members. These members enjoyed a number of benefits including collective bargaining power and wider benefits. He stated that there were currently 38,000 recognition agreements throughout the UK and Ireland. This involved working on members’ behalf and working with employers to improve conditions for employees. He said Unite was the largest public and private sector union in Ireland and the UK with more than 250,000 employees being members of 34 unions in Northern Ireland. He said this made the trade union movement the largest civic society organisation in the region. 2 Page 2 He stated that while salary scales reflected a number of factors, a key one was the economic position of specific areas. He said it was estimated that across the economy, trade union members were paid 10% more than non-members. He said trade union density was at its lowest in the West and North West which reflected the weakness of the local job market. This meant employees in this area had a lesser ability to negotiate salary increases through collective bargaining which was unfortunate. He stated that the average salary in this Council area was 6% lower than the Northern Ireland average. A similar situation existed in Donegal which, due to its periphery, weak labour market and a lack of union density, wages there were also significantly lower. He referred to the fact that workers from this area and Donegal regularly crossed borders to find work, but, the terms and conditions would be similar. He said the manner in which to address this was for employees to become organised within their workplace through recognition agreements. This meant an employer was under a legal obligation to negotiate and engage with the trade union. He said Unite was a powerful advocate for investment in the North West in particular. Unite met with political representatives and the power of their membership put forward the case for regionally balanced investment for public services for this Council area. He said Unite had a proud record of working with Council and other employers to bring employment and prosperity to this region. He continued that Unite was a strong supporter of the campaign to bring rail connections and infrastructure to the North West. They also played a major role in the health unions in terms of securing investment and particularly in regards to locating the Graduate Entry Medical School at the Magee Campus. He said Unite appreciated all jobs and investment which came to this area and would strive to see this grow. He stated that unfortunately the North West had currently less than 3,500 manufacturing jobs and was largely dependent on the public sector for employment. He said Unite’s call had always been for job creation and they would support all plans and efforts to realise this. However, it was necessary that the jobs created offered a respectable salary, where workers were shown respect and had dignity in the work they carried out. He said it was an unfortunate, and an all too common situation, that employees were frightened of losing their job if they joined a trade union. He referred to situations where employees were terrified of raising a problem with their employer for fear of retribution. This was not acceptable in any civilised society. 3 Page 3 Mr Gallagher said the members of Unite had shown constant goodwill and flexibility in terms of meeting their employer’s demands, not least in regard to Derry City and Strabane District Council. He said Unite adopted a similar approach in all of their workplaces and endeavoured to resolve problems before these became major issues. This was usually in organisations where common sense was exercised and a good working relationship existed with employers. He said Unite were particularly proud of their representation in terms of defending workers at risk of exploitation in terms of infection risks around Covid. He stated that since the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020, Unite had been extremely busy in its work with employers, who had recognition agreements, to address the challenges presented during such unprecedented times. He continued that the existence of a strong trade union also helped employers. He referred to numerous examples where Unite met regularly with large employers in the City to discuss problems in regards to their product/demand and, where possible, offer assistance. He said a good employer had nothing to fear from a trade union. He said negotiations involving trade unions were in regards to terms and conditions of employment, pay awards, pensions, job grading and evaluation, hours of work, holiday pay, health and safety, redundancy, discipline, grievance/capability procedures and obviously and other issues around TUPE or contracts. Mr Gallagher said it was the fundamental right of every individual to join a trade union and welcomed Council’s support for this principle, which was enshrined as a human right.
