Join the SoR, the TUC, and a number of other unions as we stand up for our right to strike.
At 12pm on Saturday 27 January, join the SoR as we stand with other unions to protest against the governments decision to restrict the right to strike.
Importance:
The TUC explains why we need to protest again the Strikes (Minimum Services Levels) Act 2023:
The law stipulates that when workers in certain sectors lawfully vote to strike, they could be forced to attend work – and sacked if they don’t comply. This undemocratic new law could curtail the right to strike for 1 in 5 workers. The right to strike is a fundamental British liberty. We must defend it at all costs.
Write to your MP
Want to make it clear to the Government that the right to strike needs to be protected? Whether you're marching or not, you can write to your MP so they know that this issue isn't something that should be overlooked. A template you can edit and email can be found below.
Attendance:
The SoR will have representives attending and welcome any members who want to join. If you would like to attend, please register your interest using the "Book onto event" link below. The SoR will aim to cover travel costs for those travelling from the South West and the Midlands, cover of costs for those travelling from other regions will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
