The Right to Strike: from the Trade Disputes Act 1906 to a Trade Union Freedom Bill 2007
On 21 December 1906, the Trade Disputes Act received the Royal Assent.
According to Professor Keith Ewing that Act was one of the most important pieces of labour legislation ever passed by a British Parliament. It provided very simple legal protection for the right to strike for sixty-five years, and left a legacy which is found on the statute book to this day.
In celebration of the centenary of the 1906 Act, the Institute of Employment Rights is publishing a book cataloguing the history of the right to strike in the UK. Using its unique network of experts - academics, lawyers and trade unionists - the Institute has produced an authoritative yet lively account of the twists and turns in the judicial and statutory developments surrounding the right to strike over the last 100 years.
