BFAWU Conference condemns anti-strike laws
THE Tory government’s latest anti-strike legislation is a “bullying counter-revolutionary response to keep us in our place,” food workers charged today.
BFAWU delegates meeting for their annual conference unanimously passed a motion which slammed the Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Act 2023 as an attempt to remove working people’s “God-given right” to strike.
The widely condemned law, which was enacted last July, gives employers and even ministers the right to sack workers who refuse to provide a dictated minimum service level across key industries during walkouts.
