Propose a change

Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

70ZA Access agreements

(1) This section applies for the purposes of this Chapter. (2) An “access agreement” is an agreement between a qualifying trade union and an employer that— (a) provides for one or more officials of the union to physically enter a workplace or communicate with workers (or both) for any of the access purposes, and (b) is entered into under section 70ZD or is treated as having been entered into under section 70ZE. (3) A “qualifying trade union” is a trade union that has a certificate of independence. (4) “Access” means— (a) physical entry into a workplace; (b) communication with workers. (5) A reference to communication with workers is a reference to communication with workers (including the provision of information to workers) by any means, whether directly or indirectly. (6) The “access purposes” are— (a) to meet, support, represent, recruit or organise workers (whether or not they are members of a trade union); (b) to facilitate collective bargaining. (7) But the access purposes do not include organising industrial action. (8) Sections 70ZB to 70ZF contain provision about entering into access agreements. (9) Section 70ZG contains provision about the variation or revocation of access agreements. (10) Sections 70ZH to 70ZK contain provision about the enforcement of access agreements.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
