The Liberal Party notes with disappointment the government’s decision to bring forward legislation to ensure minimum levels of services during industrial action, reversing legislation made by the Liberal Party Government Trade Union Disputes Act 1906.
Whilst strikes are disruptive to many, the Liberal Party fundamentally supports the rights of works to withhold their labour when carried out in a legal and responsible manner.
The party see’s this proposed legislation as simply a way to curb industrial action, rather than acknowledge that it has only come about due to the governments unwillingness to seek a resolution to the underlying causes or shown any empathy
Professional from many public sectors have gone on strike only because of the dire situation many find themselves in, faced with unprecedented energy prices and the cost-of-living crisis.
Unions such as those representing nurses and ambulance crews have made every provision to ensure a minimum service is provided, without the need for such overbearing legislation.
