Aye, this is the greatest leverage workers have against their bosses. It is because of the importance of the jobs of emergency workers that they deserve better.

If you want to get mugged because PC Plod's on strike, good for you. Nay.

Nay; on two fronts.
This is atrociously formatted and trade unions should be as restricted as possible to avoid a repeat of the 1970s nightmare and the winter of discontent.

Mr Speaker, I will oppose this bill.
That the Liberal Democrat’s have backed this bill is a dark moment for the Mhoc.

It may be argued that they are essential in a modern, civilised society, and I'd agree with that point. However, I'd also say that if we want to live in a modern, civilised society then workers should be entitled to appropriate pay and working conditions. If employers are unwilling to provide this then those employers make a choice that they don't want to live in a modern, civilised society. As a Lib Dem, I believe that is choice, not something that should be assumed.

I absolutely agree. I fought that bill while in government as it imposes unreasonable restrictions upon strikes.

Ngl I'd forgotten we were going to do this but I'm very pleased we're doing it.
That anyone besides the reactionary far right backed the original bill was a dark moment for the MHoC.

Being a Londoner, I am often faced with Underground strikes that force me onto packed buses. This law would be dangerous to Londoners' jobs, so I shall vote No.

Nay. The Trade Union Act prevents essential workers from going on strike, and bringing the country and critical services to a halt. The chaos caused particularly in London when tube drivers go on strike brings the capital to breaking point.
The Government by seeking to repeal this bill clearly implies they are not on the side of ordinary hard working people trying to get on with their lives, but instead on the side of the big trade unions who seek to hold the country and its people to ransom.
I would urge all colleagues to reject this bill which is nothing more than a trade union power grab.

Aye as well. The Bill which is being repealed was unreasonable in its restrictions.

Nay on two grounds: first, it is not a bad act; second, there is very real potential that such a repeal will not result in a return to how things were before the passage of the act, meaning there are potentially unintended (or fully intended but not stated) consequences of repeal.

Nay.
To allow emergency services to strike with a potential cost to life is quite frankly disgusting.
Findings show that the Junior Doctors strike/debacle a while back had big implicatoins for the provision of healthcare, which is simply not fair.

The Bill that I hope is repealed is not the answer to this. A longer period between a ballot and industrial action is one, a threshold change another, or the requirement to provide a minimum level of service (as happens in some other EU countries) is a third.
