Strike-Breaking Ruled Unlawful, Unfair and Irrational by High Court

The High Court has today ruled that the government repeal of Regulation 7, which prevented agency workers being used to break strikes, is unlawful, unfair and irrational. In a scathing judgment, Mr Justice Linden held that the governments repeal could not stand. The right to strike is a fundamental right and this ruling reinforces the fact that the courts will not stand by and let the government decimate this important freedom.
