词条 | Union Modernisation Fund |
释义 |
The Union Modernisation Fund (UMF) was a fund established in 2005[1] by the Government of the United Kingdom (at this time under the leadership of Tony Blair, who was part of the Labour government) with the aim of providing financial support to British trade unions by supporting "innovative modernisation projects which contribute to a transformational change in the organisational effectiveness of a trade union".[2] The fund was overseen by the independent quasi-autonomous non-governmental organisation (quango) the Union Modernisation Fund Supervisory Board (officially termed a non-departmental public body), which was part of the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills.[3] Three rounds of the UMF were held,[2] with a large amount of money disseminated to trade unions.[4] The Conservatives criticised the fund, calling it a way to keep the unions "sweet", and the then shadow business secretary Alan Duncan called on Gordon Brown to scrap the fund.[1] Only three rounds of funding were ever held, and the board was abolished in 2010 as part of the UK government's quango reforms (as the board's function had been completed).[2][5] In total the fund gave £7 million to trade unions throughout its existence.[6] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.personneltoday.com/articles/2007/09/14/42347/conservatives-call-for-union-modernisation-fund-to-be.html|title=Conservatives call for Union Modernisation Fund to be scrapped|last=Berry|first=Mike|date=14 September 2007|publisher=Personnel Today|accessdate=28 April 2012}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.bis.gov.uk/Policies/employment-matters/strategies/umf|title=Union Modernisation Fund|publisher=Department of Business, Innovation and Skills|accessdate=28 April 2012}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bis.gov.uk/partners/by/types|title=Partner organisations|publisher=Department for Business, Innovation and Skills|accessdate=28 April 2012}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.theyworkforyou.com/wrans/?id=2010-03-08e.319145.h|title=Union Modernisation Fund|date=8 March 2010|work=Hansard|publisher=TheyWorkForYou (mySociety)|page=c143W|accessdate=28 April 2012}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.direct.gov.uk/prod_consum_dg/groups/dg_digitalassets/@dg/@en/documents/digitalasset/dg_191543.pdf|title=PUBLIC BODIES REFORM – PROPOSALS FOR CHANGE|publisher=Directgov|page=4|accessdate=28 April 2012|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120405164059/http://www.direct.gov.uk/prod_consum_dg/groups/dg_digitalassets/@dg/@en/documents/digitalasset/dg_191543.pdf|archivedate=5 April 2012|df=}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld201212/ldhansrd/text/120316w0001.htm|title=Trade Union Modernisation Fund Question|author=Lord Laird, Baroness Wilcox|date=16 March 2012|publisher=Hansard|page=WA117|accessdate=28 April 2012}} External links
