strikersSometimes a negotiated settlement with a union proves impossible, and industrial action will be called.  Industrial action can take many forms, ranging from working to rule (ie doing exactly what the contracts say, and nothing else), through to calling a strike.
Unions have legal protection from being sued if they comply with certain minimum requirements, including holding a ballot amongst the workforce.
We will

  • advise on whether you have grounds to seek an injunction from the High Court to stop the strike; and,
  • assist with any injunction application or claim for damages arising from a threatened or ongoing unlawful strike.
