Answer

Yes, Campbell-Bannerman passed legislation protecting trade unions from damages during strikes. The Trade Disputes Act 1906 prevented employers from suing unions for damages caused by strikes or other industrial action. This was a major victory for the trade union movement, as it made it much easier for unions to organise strikes without fear of being sued.
