Protect the Right to Strike: join the campaign

Getting a pay rise or defending terms and conditions will become far harder for working people under the government’s anti-union bill.   It threatens the basic right to strike. Even when ballots meet the government’s new thresholds, employers will soon be able to break strikes by bringing in agency workers.

Together we can make the government rethink their plans.

Here’s how we can all help:
  • TUC demo at the Tory Party Conference, Sun 4 Oct, Manchester. Transport from Sheffield available. More information…
  • Sign up to join the TUC campaign.
  • TUC lobby and rally 2 November, London.  Join the TUC and union members from all over the country coming together to lobby and rally against the trade union bill on Monday 2 November in London. More information to come soon.
