Message	We fear this legislation might lead to a minority of trade unions abusing their liberty to strike, which in the end would lead to a public and political backlash against trade unionism which would do harm to the trade union movement. Arthur Smith (General Secretary of Her Majesty's Loyal Trade Unionists)

To	Debating the Strike Freedom Act
Message	Mr Speaker, In the domain of industrial relations, why should the law favour one side to such an extent? When deciding to take strike action, workers must consider the possibility of being replaced.
