Starmer snubs Green Party fatal motion against Tory anti strike laws!

Keir Starmer is whipping Labour Lords to abstain on workers rights once again leaving just the Green Party standing by them.
Right, so tonight Green Party peer Natalie Bennett is bringing yet another fatal motion in the Lords to kill off Tory anti-strike legislation that will force public sector workers to work against their will, to maintain so-called safe service levels. In other words they’ll force people to work to maintain a level of service that minimises disruption, the very point of taking strike action. It is a protected human right, to be able to withdraw your labour, to be free of slavery in effect, because being forced to work is tantamount to that, therefore what they are doing here is almost certainly illegal and would never stand up in court if passed, but pass through the Lords it may well do, because whilst the Green Party once more are the ones leading thew fight against the Tories, are the architects of the second fatal motion we’ve seen just this year, previously it was over the public order bill and our rights to protest and prior to that we hadn’t seen one since 2016 because they are so rare, yet so rancid are the Tories that they now face another for forcing people to work against their will and worse, both Sir Keir Starmer and Sir Ed Davey, leaders of Labour and the Lib Dems respectively have ordered their peers to abstain on this. Labour the party of workers now refusing to stand up for you as you get forced to work or face the sack. How far they have fallen.
Right, so once more it is one of the just two Green peers in the House of Lords who are standing up for decency, the basics like our human rights, as every other party seems intent on stripping us of them, or standing by as casual observers, but when Labour are once again being told to abstain over this by what passes for their leader, people need to look up and take notice that this is not a party on your side.
This is all down to the Tories anti-strike legislation, their Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Bill and it is really bad news. Not only does this limit the scope of workers in their rights to withdraw their labour, in order to basically completely undermine the strike action entirely, since disruption is the whole point, it’s a last resort, but as we’ve seen with the Tories repeatedly, they don’t listen and don’t negotiate, they ignore, or they bully, or they impose their will and this is what they are doing again. If this passes, you going on strike in violation of minimum service levels, could result in you being sacked.
Not only that, but the Trade Union representing you could be in significant bother as well, since if it does not enforce the terms of the Minimum Service Levels Bill, they could find themselves liable for damages, up to £1m. That has the potential to bankrupt some of our smaller representative workers bodies, but also turns those who are supposed to be on our side, into enforcement agents for the government and would you be too keen to remain a member of a union doing that? That’s not what we pay our dues for.
