banjodeano Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 If they are still being discussed they aren't laws yet. I suppose if you want to be pedantic then yes, but you catch my drift... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert_Baehr Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 why of course our human right to withdraw our labour...which else.. That's not a 'human right' - it's a legal right. If workers have the right to withdraw their labour (and if that right supersedes any requirement to negotiate) should employers not have the right to withdraw their jobs? What's sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander. You always have the right to quit a job (though there may be contractual limits [which work both ways] on that.) I have walked out of 2 jobs. - I didn't go on strike, I quit. (Found another job the next day and had the great pleasure of telling one of my ex-bosses [who decided he really needed me] exactly what he could do with the job.) (Actually, I don't get mad, I get even ... when his boss asked me why I had left, I told him too.):hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gormenghast Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 They may be your human rights, i am talking about Banjo's own human rights, to withdraw my labour as and when deemed fit.. That's your choice, not a human right. (I liked the youtube videos by the way, if that's you ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andikay Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I am talking about the NEW laws that are being discussed to clamp down on striking.. Everyone who is unhappy with their works pay or conditions as a right to quit their job and find a better job. But it should be illegal to blackmail your employed by refusing to work unless the employer as a right to terminate your employment for refusing to work.

Mecky Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 That's not a 'human right' - it's a legal right. If workers have the right to withdraw their labour (and if that right supersedes any requirement to negotiate) should employers not have the right to withdraw their jobs? What's sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander. And who is going to work for a crummy employer that did that? I would rather take the business from them or die. Under no circumstances would I let them get away with that kind of rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may well be a government of which you do not approve, but -like it or not - the coalition (between the lot of them) gained the support of more than 50% of those who voted. If you (or any union, or group of unions) attempts to bring down that government, you are trying to deny the majority of the British voters the right to elect a government. You might find a lot of people are against you. Some of them will have very long memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
