Right to Strike Re-release


Our popular book the Right to Strike sold out quickly when it was launched
in 2007 and, with many people's minds focused on the practicalities of a
general strike, we have recently seen great demand for the publication once
more.

In response to this, we have re-released the Right to Strike in an
electronic format and cut the original price by 66%.


About the book


By Prof Keith Ewing

This book tells the story of the Trade Disputes Act 1906, in celebration of
its centenary. That Act was one of the most important pieces of labour
legislation ever passed by a British Parliament. It provided very simple
legal protection for the right to strike for sixty-five years, and left a
legacy which is found on the statute book to this day.

 

The substance of today’s law however, is far removed and much weaker than
the position established in 1906. For that reason, the Trade Union Freedom
Bill is designed to soften some of the harder edges of the Thatcher bequest.

 

The 15 authors contributing to this authoritative report – all involved in
the Institute’s unique network of academics, lawyers and trade unionists –
examine the twists and turns in the judicial and statutory developments
surrounding the right to strike over the last 100 years.

 

It begins by reviewing the industrial and legal origins of the Trade
Disputes Act before cataloguing how the vulnerable immunities introduced by
the Act were systematically unravelled by a class conscious judiciary then
periodically reconstructed by sympathetic politicians. The final chapters
consider the savage deconstruction of trade union rights during the
Conservative years of the 80’s and 90’s and assesses where we go from here.

 

Our system of immunities is compared with the European tradition of
fundamental rights as protected by national constitutions. And the book
concludes by proposing the initial steps required from a Trade Union Freedom
Act if UK laws are to meet the needs of working people in the 21st century.
