England and Wales: Help agricultural workers defend their pay & conditions - save the AWB

11-04-2013

Despite massive national and international opposition [1], the UK Government is pushing ahead with its plans to abolish the Agricultural Wages Board (AWB) which sets minimum pay and conditions for farmworkers.

The agricultural workers’ union Unite [2], has this week stepped up protests and actions. Now they are asking for your help.

The Bill containing the abolition provision will be debated on Tuesday, April 16 in the House of Commons.

Click here to send an urgent message [3] to Prime Minister David Cameron and to UK Government Ministers that the Agricultural Wages Board must be kept.
