Abstract
It is a basic, fundamental human right for any worker to withdraw their labour — that is why the trade union movement in the United Kingdom needs to resist the new Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Act when embarking on industrial action. This legislation is a back-door attempt to ban strike action in certain occupations and for certain groups of workers. The Prison Officers’ Association (POA) argues that it is vital that together we campaign not only to repeal the MSL Act and the Trade Union Act 2016, but also against the disgraceful stain of section 127 of the Criminal Justice Public Order Act 1994. The POA will not rest until we get justice. Our fight goes on irrespective of whether or not we are supported by the wider trade union movement.
