- Decision
- Carried
This Water, Environment and Transport Conference deplores the continuing anti-union behaviour of management at UK based National Express Group’s North American yellow school bus subsidiaries.
We note that National Express Group has declined to introduce a freedom of information policy in order to protect the human rights of their employees by being able to join a trade union of their choice.
This is in stark contrast to their largest UK based competitor, First Group who have adopted such a freedom of association policy to protect employees.
This Conference calls on the Service Group Executive to put appropriate pressure on National Express Group to right this wrong and to convince them that adopting this freedom of information policy is the correct course of action for a responsible international employer.
