The right to strike A trade union view
1991
This short book, written for and published by the Institute of Employment Rights, discusses the nature of an impact of the anti-strike laws as they existed in 1991. Unfortunately, although the book is over 20 years' old, much of this law still exists, and this is despite 13 years of a Labour government. Moreover, further controls were introduced by the Conservative’s Trade Union Act 2016, particularly through the imposition of special voting majorities In secret ballots . The main purpose of the book is to argue that trade union members have nothing to gain from repeal of the anti-union law being in the form of the re-widening of the statutory immunites. Rather, the system of immunites should be totally replaced by a system of positive rights to strike and engage in effective picketing.
