Unionized Ministers. A bit of a Christian, fraternal, trusting, disconnect

Amicus has come out in support of church ministers attempting to implement the same protection at work as those in non-church organisations. The union, which has more than 2,000 clergy members, has called on the Government to allow ministers of religion access to a full spread of rights through the Employment Rights Act 1999, section 23.

How about this for bring clarity to the topic...

“Amicus does not dispute that God, by virtue of a minister’s calling, is their ultimate employer,” said Ms. Maskell. “However, in recognising this relationship we believe that there can be no abdication of responsibility by those with the powers to impact on the relationship and thus to co-manage the employment of the minister.”

Thank you Ms. Maskell.
