Tories to effectively stop the right to strike


The Tories have effectively declared war on the working class by announcing a new scheme that will effectively remove a Union's ability to take industrial action.
The Guardian says the Conservatives are "looking at introducing laws setting new minimum turnout thresholds." This means that a majority of people eligible to vote would have to vote yes - not just those people actually taking part in the ballot. If it was law that 50% had to be against strike action to stop it from happening, the Tories would be screaming yet the other way around is totally fair.

I've just signed a petition that demands that the Tories scrap this outrageous attack on the Unions - you should too!
