Introduction by Norrie Slater, Eastern England TULO Chair

Welcome to the Eastern England TULO page. We hope that you find the page useful and informative.

The role of TULO is to continue the link between the Labour Party and Trade Unions. The affect of how well the link works was highlighted in the Warwick Agreement that was reached in July 2004. Working together, through TULO, we reached a historic agreement and a historic

third Labour term.

The agreement included:-

·             Legislation on corporate manslaughter in the next parliamentary term.

·             Four weeks paid holiday for all, exclusive of bank holidays

·             Using Anti-Social Behaviour Orders to tackle violence, in and around front line

              workplaces

·             Protection for pension funds in company transfers or mergers

·             Trade Unions will gain the right to bargain on pensions.

·             Agreement to tackle unequal pay in local government.

·             The expansion of apprenticeships

·             Union learning representatives trebled to 22,000

·             The New Deal to provide help to unemployed over 50’s

·             Further action to tackle domestic violence and support those at risk.

·             Stronger company disclosure on social, ethical and environmental issues.

This is just some of the highlights of the agreement. You can use this website to find out more or view the whole agreement by clicking here. Also register your support or if you want to volunteer to help TULO in the local area.

We will keep the website updated with news of campaigns as well articles that you will find of interest from people in both the Labour Party and the trade union movement.

By working together we can make the third term a success for both the Unions and the Labour Party and then build for a forth term Labour Government.

Yours truly,

Norrie Slater , Eastern England TULO Chair
