        Never knew it was illegal in the UK. Didn’t surprise me though to learn it was Margaret Thatcher who outlawed it again in the 80s.

        This might be a stupid question, but how does this law apply to non-union laborers looking to unionize, but aren’t technically union yet?

        When you make your next union contract, get the expiry date the contract to be May Day. If everybody’s contracts expire on the same day, it’s easier to have a general strike day in the future.

      Now if only they had the same support that unions do in Sweden

      More people believe in unions than you may realize.

      Don’t just focus in on the shills/bots and what they’re saying.
