Newly appointed Business Secretary Sajid Javid has said there will be "significant changes" to strike laws under the new Conservative government.

A strike affecting essential public services will need the backing of 40% of eligible union members under government plans, he said.

And I thought we had rather tight laws regarding strikes

If you think about it though, it is more fair. I kinda forces folks to stand up for something if they believe in it and it keep a few power hungry union members from forcing decisions on others that may not agree with them. It appears that being a 'no show' equals a NO vote.

Would be interesting if they applied to same rules to Governmental votes.

That's th nhs about to sold off then.
