Well, as always when a Govt. & top managers have lost trust of a public sector work-force, and fail to settle a long running industrial dispute, the next step is pretty much always the consideration of a ban on striking altogether.

So, you'll be unsurprised that NHS senior managers, after three years of on-off conflict with Resident Doctors, are asking Wes Streeting to consider a legal ban on strikes by doctors. Streeting has so far demurred but how much longer?

And would that be the final straw that leads the unions to go looking for a better party to give their political fund money to?

@only_ohm

Yes, this was my thinking too....

How much of the Employment Rights Act 2025 is still waiting on commencement orders? I guess until that's all done and dusted, ministers have the unions over a barrel.
