In a nutshell, the government’s Trade Union Bill would mean:
- employers were able to use agency temps to replace striking workers
- restrictions on pickets and protests that threaten freedom of speech
- attacks on union reps in the public sector
- more unnecessary red tape, tying up unions.
Taken together, these will undermine our basic right to strike. And that will tip the balance in the workplace in favour of employers.
We need your help to defeat this bill.
Join me in the campaign to protect the right to strike.
People win when we stand together. Stand with us.
Thanks for your support,
