In this special “toolkit” episode, we look in detail at the Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Act – where it has come from, and why it is disproportionate, non-consensual and dangerously ill-conceived. As the Act moves into the implementation phase, Simon and leading union lawyer Richard Arthur dissect the issues, place the Act in context, and point out why government hopes for union disempowerment are fundamentally flawed.
Ioannis Katsaroumpas’ article on why the Act crosses the Rubicon of authoritarianism is here. The report from the Parliamentary Transport Committee is here.
