The mandate expires after six months if workers choose to conduct industrial action, and unions must hold another poll to prolong it, according to current law.
However, a government-produced consultation document stated that the mandate might be extended for an additional year.
It stated that maintaining the six-month norm would “add administrative costs” to unions because they are “very likely” to win a second referendum.
Teachers, doctors, train drivers, and railroad employees are just a few of the groups that have participated in walkouts recently.
during 5.7 million working days have been lost as a result of walkouts in various sectors and businesses during the past two years.
Ministers contend that facilitating union organization would result in a more cooperative relationship with employers and reduce the need for employee strikes.
Additionally, the government wants to do away with the requirement that 50% of workers cast ballots.
It seeks to eliminate the requirement that 40% of workers support strike action in order for it to proceed for “important public services” like the NHS.
The Conservative Party has been contacted by the media to comment on the plans.
