Yes they are protected. If they are sacked for taking part in industrial action it is automatically unfair dismissal. However they still need to go to an employment tribunal, which will take 12-18 months to organise, and the payout is still limited to the figures I stated earlier.
You're not so naive to believe that no striking worker hasn’t been sacked in the past or will be sacked in the future are you??
I’ll try and explain it to you again simply. Industrial action has taken place successfully in companies since before you were born. The intent of your statement is clear and that is to instil fear by playing on people’s ignorance. Following your logic that a striking worker may have been targeted and directly or indirectly sacked due to taking part in industrial action, it can therefore also be said that a person may die the next time they cross the road, have a minor surgical procedure or fly as a passenger on a plane. Your motivations are to scaremonger.
