ACAS cautions against more anti-union laws‏

Peter Harwood, ACAS chief conciliator, has criticised plans to introduce a threshold of 50% turnout for industrial action ballots: "the risk is that if you make balloting too difficult you will get back to where we were in the 1970s and people will take unofficial action. If people feel strongly about something they will walk out."
