<p><font size=2 color=maroon face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:Calibri;color:maroon'>Nearly two years ago, trade unions faced four
hostile decisions from the European Court of Justice. Those decisions –
in the Viking, <st1:City w:st="on">Laval</st1:City>, Ruffert and <st1:country-region
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Luxembourg</st1:place></st1:country-region>
cases - struck at the very heart of trade union activity. They attacked the
right of unions to take strike action in support of jobs. They undermined
collective bargaining by preventing industrial action in defence of pay and
conditions above minimum standards set out in the Posted Workers Directive.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 color=maroon face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:Calibri;color:maroon'>Since then, the implications of those hostile
European decisions have been played out in a series of <st1:country-region
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">UK</st1:place></st1:country-region> disputes.
First, <span class=caps>BALPA </span>was threatened with bankruptcy when BA
brought legal proceedings against planned strike action to prevent the export
of jobs. Then national agreements covering <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">UK</st1:place></st1:country-region> oil refinery workers at East
Lindsey were threatened by the employment of Italian workers under the Posted
Workers Directive. More generally, employers are using both the recession and
reference to the hostile decisions of the <span class=caps>ECJ </span>to
undermine terms and conditions and prevent unions fighting back.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 color=maroon face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:Calibri;color:maroon'>Nor does the future look any brighter. If the
Lisbon Treaty is forced through, the powers of the <span class=caps>ECJ </span>–
used so aggressively in favour of employers in recent years - will grow still
further with devastating implications for unions. Maintaining terms and
conditions on major construction sites like the Olympics will be a struggle.
Union campaigns like those for a living wage or for progressive procurement
policies will increasingly be challenged.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 color=maroon face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:Calibri;color:maroon'>So how should unions and their members
respond? What are the political, legal and industrial options open to unions
and their members? Unions are pushing politically for changes to EU and <st1:country-region
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">UK</st1:place></st1:country-region> laws.
Lawyers are looking at ways to challenge the direction of the <span class=caps>ECJ
</span>through the <span class=caps>ILO </span>and the European Court of Human
Rights. But can workers wait? Examples of workers ignoring restrictive laws and
fighting back in defence of pay and jobs are already spreading - and winning.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 color=maroon face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:Calibri;color:maroon'>This conference, organised around the 2nd
anniversary of the initial <span class=caps>ECJ </span>decisions, aims to bring
workers together with sympathetic academics and lawyers to share information,
learn from each others’ experiences and plan for a better future.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
