3⃣ Write to your MP to urge them to take the chance to protect workers without unnecessary limitations by removing ‘of a prescribed description’ from Clause 63

If you want, we’ve drawn up a little template here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11fNhuVXJneUhbtLYKv24jh9aGfkciapSR9Boz8xa5ug/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.mh80im9ktpoc

4⃣ Raise a motion in your branch to work towards freedom from detriment for taking lawful industrial action.

This has affected many, not just @qmul.ac.uk colleagues. We have a chance to improve workers' rights.
