Employability Minister Jamie Hepburn says there has been massive improvements in health and safety in the workplace because of trade unions.

Mr Hepburn says when the government and trade unions work together they can achieve great results.

Scottish Greens Co-convener Patrick Harvie intervenes to say it should not be up to the employer to decide whether to engage with trade unions.

Mr Hepburn responds saying he agrees with Mr Harvie that it would be better if the legislation allowed the government to get more involved when employers refuse to work with trade unions.

Labour MSP Neil Findlay says he wishes this parliament would have been allowed to debate and vote on the UK Trade Union Bill.

Mr Findlay says the decision not to allow this was wrong.

The Labour MSP says trade unions are a force for good in society and says Labour governments and trade unions have advanced the rights of his class.

Mr Findlay says there must be concrete action from the Scottish government to increase union membership.

Scottish Greens Co-convener Patrick Harvie says it is clear that at periods of high levels of trade union membership we see a higher level of economic equality.

Mr Harvie says we won't be able to build a more equal society without the trade union movement.

The Scottish Greens Co-convener says parliament must do everything within their power to oppose employers who refuse to build relationships with trade unions. 

Labour MSP Richard Leonard questions whether miners and workers at GCHQ would agree with Liam Kerr that Margaret Thatcher was union friendly.

Mr Leonard says the Trade Union Bill , externalis not anti-Scottish it is anti-working class. 

He says the bill attacks the basic human right of being able to withdraw your labour.

Scottish Conservative MSP Liam Kerr says SNP MSP Clare Haughey will be uncomfortable at the moment because the Tories are backing her motion.

Mr Kerr says unions were built by and for workers and not necessarily those that are of the "left".

He says the values that trade unions were built upon are Tory values.

The Tory MSP says his party welcome the increase in membership and pays tribute to the role of trade unions in Scotland.

SNP MSP David Torrance says there is a lot at stake for union members on June 23 and says the EU has paid a crucial role on workers rights.

Labour MSP Jackie Baillie says she is wholeheartedly in favour of trade unions.

Ms Baillie says unions are as important now as they ever where.

The Labour MSP says unions are about improving the lives for workers, the community and the country.

She says trade unions are right to challenge parliament for more than just "warm words".

Ms Baillie says large government contracts should not be awarded to companies who are anti-trade unions.

Labour MSP Elaine Smith asks if the parliament is in purdah for the referendum, following Ms Haughey's speech.

Deputy Presiding Officer Christine Grahame says she will reflect on this.

Ms Haughey says all the achievements she has listed are under threat from the UK government.

The SNP says these achievements are also under threat from Brexit and urges trade union members to vote remain.

Purdah, what purdah?

Labour MSP Neil Findlay intervenes calling on Ms Haughey to congratulate the Labour governments he says helped bring in these benefits.

Ms Haughey says she thinks she will move on. 

SNP MSP Clare Haughey begins by saying she is an active member of a trade union and says unions are in place to ensure a fair day's pay for a fair day's work.

Ms Haughey outlines the history of trade unions in the UK and Europe. 

She says the scale and frequency of industrial accidents was horrific in the past and that was where the first co-operatives grew from. 

The SNP MSP says many of the benefits that are now taken for granted came from the efforts of trade unions. 

SNP MSP Clare Haughey leads this evening's member's debate on trade union membership in Scotland.

Here is Ms Haughey's motion:
