The immunities

[ch 9: page 247]

All forms of industrial action are in fundamental breach of the contract of employment but section 219 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 (TULRCA) establishes “immunities” for striking workers and for the union, provided statutory conditions are strictly met.
