Re: union discipline

Unjustifiable discipline

There are certain actions that your trade union must not discipline you for. If it does, the discipline will automatically be unjustifiable and you will be able to make a complaint to an Employment Tribunal. The actions are outlined below.
Strikes and other industrial action

A trade union must not discipline you for:
going to work despite a call to take strike or other industrial action
crossing a picket line during a strike
failing to take part in or support a strike or other industrial action
showing opposition to, or lack of support for a strike or other industrial action (eg voting against industrial action)
refusing to contribute funds to support a strike or workers taking strike action
refusing to break an obligation imposed by your contract of employment or other agreement with your employer for any purpose connected with a strike or other industrial action
encouraging or assisting someone else to honour their employment contract or other agreement with their employer

I'll be striking tomorrow but I fervently believe in individuals choices. If people don't wish to strike, that's their right.
