The Trades Union Congress in Great Britain voted overwhelmingly to expel the electricians’ union, its first ouster of an affiliate in 15 years. Delegates of the electricians’ 336,000-member union showed their disdain by walking out en masse minutes before the Trades Union took its vote. The Electronic, Telecommunication & Plumbing Union was ousted for signing two single-union no-strike deals with management in violation of Trades Union policy. The Trades Union believes that such deals weaken union bargaining power and lead to competition among unions for representation in a shrinking job market.
