This comprehensive package would not restrict legitimate industrial action or peaceful protest. It seeks to establish that certain egregious behaviours fall outside acceptable conduct and should not enjoy employment protection. Workers would remain free to engage in lawful industrial action, peaceful picketing and legitimate union activities. The leverage approach explicitly described by Unite represents a departure from good-faith negotiation principles. When unions adopt strategies designed to defeat rather than convince employers, they abandon the collaborative approach that leads to sustainable workplace solutions.
