After reviewing the BALPA
case the UN's ILO Committee of Experts has just declared that
the decisions in Viking and Laval will have a further significant
restrictive effect on the right to strike and that this is
contrary to international fundamental freedoms.
The Committee has called
on the Government to review the UK's anti-union laws and consider
appropriate measures for the protection of workers and their
organisations. This call is in light of observations made
by the ILO for many years concerning the need to ensure fuller
protection of the right of workers in the UK to exercise legitimate
industrial action in practice.
