The Combinations of Workmen Act 1825 was passed to reimpose criminal sanctions for picketing and other methods of persuading workers not to work.
The act followed the Combination Act 1799 and the Combination of Workmen Act 1824. The 1824 act repealed the acts of 1799 and 1800, but this led to a wave of strikes. Accordingly, the 1825 act was passed to reimpose criminal sanctions for picketing and other methods of persuading workers not to work.
