UK behind on union rights. Labour Research Vol. 87, No. 4 (April) 1998, pp17-18. This article considers the planned government white paper, "Fairness at Work", which will spell out its plans for a new law on trade union recognition. It surveys union rights in other European countries and concludes that even with recognition "UK unions are likely still to be, at best, only catching up with their counterparts in the rest of the EU."

Rights. Scottish Human Rights Centre (February) 1998, pp4. This is the newsletter of the Scottish Human Rights Centre (formerly Scottish Council for Civil Liberties) and contains pieces on shoplifter databases, anti-social behaviour orders and an insert on the Scotland Bill & Human Rights Bill. Available from: SHRC, 146 Holland Street, Glasgow G2 4NG.
