The TUC held a special Congress on Saturday 9 December to discuss the next stage of campaigning against the Conservatives’ anti-strike laws.
The Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Act
The government’s draconian Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Act was forced through Parliament by the government.
This will mean that when workers lawfully vote to strike in health, education, fire, transport, border security and nuclear decommissioning, they could be forced to attend work – and sacked if they don’t comply. This undemocratic new law could curtail the right to strike for 1 in 5 workers.
But make no mistake. We won’t stand by and let workers get sacked for defending their pay and conditions. And we won’t rest until this bill has been repealed.
Our message is loud and clear. The entire trade union movement will rally behind any worker sacked for exercising their fundamental right to strike.
