Change the law so Unions cannot simply disrupt key infrastructure without cost.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

The RMT Union has held strike days on consecutive Saturdays in 2018, disrupting the public while providing no alternative means of transport. Unions should be liable for providing full alternative arrangements for users. Strikes can be safety critical if there is no visibility leaving users stranded

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you'd like to see action taken regarding strikes on public transport, but we are not sure what changes to the law you would like to see.

You could start a new petition calling for specific changes in the law.
