Chapter 1
Groups banned from striking
[ch 1: page 9]Some groups of worker are forbidden by law from striking in the UK. These include members of the armed services, prison officers, police officers, and civil servants working for the National Crime Agency. Prison officers have campaigned, through their union, the Prison Officers’ Association (POA), against the ban for many years, including taking their case to the European Court of Human Rights (see box on pages 12-14 and Chapter 12).
