Legislation

[pieoftheday]

So what happens if legislation is brought in to make striking very difficult, do we all, posties, rail workers, nurses etc just roll over?

Legislation is being brought in to stop protest. People are still going to protest. You can make these things illegal, but that won't stop people fighting for what they believe right. Where strikers stand, what laws come out of this, we will have to see. At present, I think it's just minimum service requirements being pushed through for rail workers. It will obviously not stop at that. For now we can only wait and see what gets proposed, I guess.

Well the laws they brought in against the Miners and Printworkes at Wapping in the 80s are a taster.

As is the ban on protesting outside parliament, it's almost as if the Politicians live in their own bubble.

Where is the line between that and state oppression . Indeed, have we already crossed that line.

We are supposed to be a free and democratic society. Where is this country heading bringing in draconian laws like this

You are free to do as you like as long as except less, and don't stand in the way of the rich getting richer !!!

When a bad law is passed, everyone affected by it should break it.

Brexit started this attack...all the freedoms protections and rights we had as workers under E.U. law are gone. This is the snake oil sold to us by Tory Etonion toffs in 2016 who couldn't wait to smash us when they hoodwinked us in the referendum.

[clashcityrocker]

He might have hoodwinked you. Don't presume to speak for the rest of us.
If you fell for the s**t peddled by that fascist Farage and if you voted in BOJO (to get Brexit done) and put the lunatics in charge of the asylum that is down to you.

Absolutely nothing to do with Brexit!! You need to move on from all that divisive remoaner stuff! Most of the so called red wall seats, including my area, voted for Brexit and for very good reason!
