The leadership of trade union Unite is openly questioning the Tory plans that could push the legitimate democratic work of trade unions outside of the law: it is a union’s job to fight for working people’s rights; if the government wants to challenge fundamental rights of the citizen, when the law is misguided, when it oppresses the people and removes their freedoms, can the unions respect it? Meanwhile the Liberal Democrat cabinet minister, who is responsible for union laws, has criticised the Conservatives for having an ideological aversion to trade unions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.theguardian.com\u002Fpolitics\u002F2015\u002Fmar\u002F20\u002Flen-mccluskey-issues-warning-over-higher-threshold-on-strike-ballots\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.theguardian.com\u002Fpolitics\u002F2015\u002Fmar\u002F20\u002Flen-mccluskey-issues-warning ... \u003C\u002Fa> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.independent.co.uk\u002Fnews\u002Fuk\u002Fhome-news\u002Fvince-cable-draws-up-plans-to-let-unions-vote-to-strike-by-online-ballots-10124333.html\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.independent.co.uk\u002Fnews\u002Fuk\u002Fhome-news\u002Fvince-cable-draws-up-plans-to-let-unions ... \u003C\u002Fa> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.theguardian.com\u002Fcommentisfree\u002F2015\u002Fmar\u002F19\u002Funions-fight-workers-bad-law-rights\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.theguardian.com\u002Fcommentisfree\u002F2015\u002Fmar\u002F19\u002Funions-fight-workers-bad-law ... \u003C\u002Fa> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\"> or the communications officer at the ETUI, Mariya Nikolova \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:mnikolova@etui.org\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">mnikolova@etui.org\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">.
