THE Tories’ anti-strikes Bill was rammed through the House of Commons this week. MPs have had just a few hours to debate this key piece of legislation that delivers a blow to the right to strike.
The wretched piece of legislation will see workers who have democratically voted for strike action forced to go in to work. And it will see trade unions forced to play a role in policing them in to work. If they don’t, they will face legal action and heavy fines.
This Bill fundamentally alters the roles of trade unions and is a fundamental attack on one of our core democratic rights.
