(asked on 19th December 2019) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to ban strikes on the railways.
This question was answered on 7th January 2020
The Government will introduce legislation to guarantee that, in times of strike action on rail, a pre-agreed minimum level of train services is provided. The purpose of this is to ensure that in future, the rights of those wishing to take strike action are balanced with the rights of those who need to travel and who rely upon the railway to go about their daily lives.
