What are the rules on striking and do you have to be a trade union member to take part?
The law says a strike can only happen if a majority of union members agree via an organised vote -around holding a vote. For example, it must be a postal ballot - where members vote on paper and return it in a prepaid envelope.
If workers agree to strike, details must be given to the employer at least 14 days before it begins .to stop strikes by cabin staff.Police officers, for example, areNurses have an agreement that they should only walk out if it does not risk the wellbeing of patients.says Crystal Boyde, an employment lawyer at Thrive Law.
"As long as the industrial action is lawful, non-union members are allowed to go on strike and remain protected from dismissal," she says.Workers on strike can expect to lose wages for the time they do not work. However, "pay cannot be deducted from a worker if they were striking on a day they were not scheduled to work", says Ms Boyde.
No-one can be forced to take part in a strike - so a worker can still choose to work if they want to.
