Create Protocol for Government Intervention in Strikes (e.g. Southern stalemate)
We would like to petition the government to seriously contemplate introducing a system in which labour disputes involving services essential to our economy, such as the Southern rail strike, can be handled in the case of long-running disruption and lack of agreement between the principle parties.
We ask the that government consider methods implemented by other nations, for example Canada, where the options include binding arbitration [For more information: http://www.cbc.ca/1.1000525]
Though we cannot quantify what the Southern rail strike has cost the economy, it certainly has had an effect; ramifications on citizens' lives must also be appreciated. In situations such as these, it would be beneficial to have a governmental framework in place.
With thanks for your consideration.
