Closed Introduce legislation to make all strike action on the railways illegal.

Closed on

The ongoing strike action by Southern Rail staff has caused misery for hundreds of thousands of commuters, in some cases leading to people losing their jobs. In 21st Century Britain this should not be allowed. The rest of us have to go to work every day - why should they hold the UK to ransom?

I take Southern trains back from work every day. They have been either late or cancelled about 95% of the time over the last year.
