No it doesn't.
People can strike for any reason they like and it may have nothing to do
with their employer as was seen in previous strikes where some unions
called out members in other industries.

Right. So you'd walk out from work and not get paid on a whim then?
In the 60s you could claim benefits when on strike.
Or
does that only apply to others?

As regards one union supporting another, would you extend any such ban to
another company supporting one which was in some form of dispute?
Nonsense. Other competitors jumped in and took advantage. Do you thing
Rotes would refrain from selling cars when BL were on strike?
Black
lists and so on?


The law attempts to stop this but there is still the option of
"unofficial" strikes.

Sound to me like you want is totalitarianism. Where it suits you.
