Take a few minutes to call or send an email to your Member of Parliament with a message about your right to free collective bargaining.

Why we are contacting MPs

We need to let MPs know that we are angry with the government’s interference in the collective bargaining process and its latest attempt to curb our right to free collective bargaining. We will be working with our union to maintain that right.
