You can't be that livid about a threshold for strike action. It was becoming ridiculous during the coalition era. The stats show two thirds of strike ballots didn't get the support of half the workforce and some strikes during the last government went ahead with 1 in 10 workers in favour. You can't be pro strikes when (a) less than half the workforce turns up to vote and (b) of those that do, less than half are in favour of action. As aggi says, the nasty Tories line is hopeless. Also hoping people choke just for exercising their right to vote is a tad strong. This is a democracy champ, and the people have spoken, whether you or I agree with it!

Everything aggi said really and also I'm quite surprised that (according to that article) currently you can't use agency workers as replacements - what do you do? Pay extra time to existing workers?
Out of all the negative tory policies that you could argue against this seems pretty sensible in principle imo. Obviously the devil is in the detail and whether anything else is slipped though.
What business is it of yours about another person's relationship with their employer?
Another random person who's work doesn't impact me and isn't payed for by the public? None at all. But this change is in relation to "key" public services. Isn't it?

and now your right to strike is about to be severely curtailed. 40% minimum ballot? shame we can't apply the same rule to politicians come election time.
voted tory? i hope you fucking choke.
