In a landmark ruling by the UK Supreme Court, it was determined that British trade union law, which did not protect workers from sanctions short of dismissal for participating in industrial action, breaches human rights. This decision follows a case brought by UNISON on behalf of care worker Fiona Mercer. The court's decision now prevents employers from disciplining staff for engaging in legal strike actions. UNISON's general secretary, Christina McAnea, described the ruling as the most significant industrial action case in decades, urging the government to amend the law promptly. UNISON celebrated this victory, emphasizing the impact of the Supreme Court's ruling.
