Its purpose was to protect workers from dismissal if they objected to joining unions, force unions to hold secret ballots to decide to strike and restrict ‘picketing’ (11).

One of the ways to show the rocky relationship of the two is through their dialog when they discuss their mothers. The best place to start is at the beginning, at the start of the
Thatcher handled the miner’s union crisis efficiently, and how this accomplishment allowed her to curb trade union power further. Thatcher not only weakened the closed shop, but she managed to completely remove it. She also managed to in effect contain picketing, and increased balloting within trade unions on a national scale. Margaret Thatcher was therefore successful in her campaign to limit the power of trade unions completely.
