LABOUR is plotting to give trade union reps fully paid time off to campaign on issues like trans rights if they are elected.
Taxpayers will be left to pick up the bill in most workplaces – like schools, hospitals and council offices.
Labour party bosses are meeting next weekend to thrash out their policies for the next election, which they are expected to win.
Among the plans being discussed is for a new law to give “statutory rights for trade union equality reps”.
This will give equality reps the legal right to spend working hours on trade union activism and still get paid.
