Time to restore an employers right to sack workers who strike

Labour paid back the Union paymasters with a provision in the law that makes in illegal for an employer to sack workers during the first 12 weeks of a strike.

So we have the absurd case of BA who could replace the staff on strike in the bat of an eyelid unable to do so because Labour got bribed by money from the Unions ( which Labour bunged them anyway from the Tax payer via the Union modernisation fund ).

Lets have a level playing field.

Remeber Ronald Reagan sacking the airtraffic controllers ? That's what's needed here. It impossible to have sympathy with the self destructive behaviour of the striking BA staff - and the law should not allow them to black mail their employer.

Odd the BBC never brings this issue up ....

Just what is going on with the strikes at the Lindsey refinery ?

Did Labour repeal all the trade union laws and I didn't notice ?

It certainly looks like the strike is organised. It certainly looks like secondary strikes are in action. And didn't I just hear on the radio about a mass meeting with a show of hands rejecting and offer from the company - so no secret ballots there then ( that also looks illegal ).

Just what is going on ?

Okay I ready to get egg on my face if I have missed Labour paying of their Union masters by quietly ditching the reforms of the 80s, I'd just like to know where we stand.
