As for strike laws, the governments of the day have certainly had to tighten up the rules to ensure that there are proper attempts to negotiate and gain the acceptance of a substantial number of employees before causing disruption. The more the unions abuse the power they have, the more governments will tighten up.

People do have the right to protest. Obstruction has always been an offence except that there has always been some tolerence when it comes to demos. Of course, if you keep pushing the boundaries, the authorities have to act, which is why they have amended the law. But the right to protest has not been taken away.
