Ok I’m in favor of unions but how is this the case? Businesses can hire whoever they want.
But the unions, which represent around three million workers, argued that the government had breached their rights by failing to consult them on the changes.
“Bringing in less-qualified agency staff to deliver important services risks endangering public safety, worsening disputes and poisoning industrial relations.”
Correct, not the reasoning the judge used. The reasoning behind not allowing employers to break strikes with agency workers. (Outside of the fact they didn’t consult the unions when deciding before)
It’s not the reason for anything that was done. The Union can want it to be a reason, the can want to make that argument, but currently it’s not a factor for anything that was decided.
And you have things mixed up. The reason why they can’t use agency workers is because unions weren’t consulted before a new law was passed that allowed agency workers.
The previous law (which is not even being discussed, because we are discussing reasons for overturning the new law) that forbid using agency workers was based iirc on something about not undermining unions.
What the Union leader said has absolutely zero bearing on anything that was actually done.

Is that it?
“Bringing in less-qualified agency staff to deliver important services risks endangering public safety, worsening disputes and poisoning industrial relations.”
Said by the union head (probably what they want to say in consultation), not by the judge.
Yup.
So not part of the ruling.
Nope, just the reasoning behind it from the article.
That’s not the reasoning the judge used, so not the reasoning behind the ruling.

At this point I think you’re being intentionally obtuse.
Wow, I think the same thing about you!
