Determined To Make Sure

The words of Ed Miliband are well worth quoting in full:

“I am determined to make sure that the Trade Unions are able to fairly represent the interests of their members and the wider workforce. Of course industrial action is a last resort, but the right to strike is a fundamental human right which must be protected and I will make sure it is. The British Airways dispute showed that the rules governing strike ballots are in urgent need of reform.”

Shame about the split infinitive. But of the two candidates who are capable of winning the Labour Leadership, one has put the Thatcher anti-union legislation on the table. The other, to whom the question was also addressed, has not.
