"Madam President, the right to strike is, of course, an important part of industrial relations and the last resort in defence of an individual. However, it must not be abused. It is hard enough getting trade unions to play fair in the UK. They are giving financial support to groups who blockade political offices, and stopping elected representatives from speaking to voters and appearing in public to discuss local and national issues. Of course, the last time the EU was involved in strikes, it was over the British jobs for British workers, the Posted Workers Directive being brought into light for allowing companies to hire workers that undercut the wages of the country they were posted to. So I would be very wary of sticking your noses in again to what is already a very sensitive subject in the UK.
To be discussing here and calling for the unelected EU Commission to potentially meddle with the rights and the freedoms that it has taken centuries in the UK to develop is not something the British people voted for. Laws should be decided by our elected and accountable national governments, not imposed from bureaucrats from Brussels and Strasbourg."@en1
