HC Deb 07 November 1945 vol 415 c1420W
Squadron-Leader Donner

asked the Minister of Labour the Government's policy directed to diminishing and/or eliminating unofficial strikes.

Mr. Isaacs

Unofficial strikes are due to a variety of causes, but they can best be avoided by the fullest possible use of the joint negotiating machinery of the industry. It is the Government policy to encourage the settlement of disputes by constitutional means and to support the employers' organisations and the trade unions in maintaining the authority of the established system of collective bargaining.
