The government plans to give workers twice as much time to strike.
Under current law, if workers vote in favor of industrial action, the mandate expires after six months and unions are required to hold another vote to extend it.
But a consultation document produced by the government indicates the mandate could be extended to a year.
He said that given unions were “very likely” to win a runoff, maintaining the six-month rule would “add administrative costs” to them.
Railway staff, train drivers, doctors and teachers are just some of the groups who have staged protests in recent times.
Walkouts across different sectors and industries over the past two years have led to the loss of more than 5.7 million working days, the highest figure in more than 30 years, according to official figures.
Ministers say that by making it easier for unions to organize, it would lead to a more cooperative relationship with employers and reduce the need for industrial action.
The government is also proposing to abolish the requirement that 50% of employees must vote.
It seeks to get rid of the rule that for “important public services” such as the NHS, around 40% of the workforce must have voted in favor of industrial action for it to take place.
The BBC has contacted the Conservative Party for comment on the proposals.
Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner said the government's policies under the Employment Rights Bill were aimed at “repealing anti-worker and anti-union laws and turning the page on industrial relations”.
The Labor Rights Bill represents a major shake-up of workers' rights, but the proposed reforms are still being developed and it remains unclear how some of them will work in practice.
Conservative shadow business secretary Kevin Hollinrake has urged the government to withdraw the employment rights bill and “think again”.
He said the bill created “an existential crisis on a scale not seen since the pandemic” for jobs and businesspeople.
The government's own analysis published earlier this week says implementing Labour's plans to improve workers' rights would cost businesses up to £5 billion a year.
As part of this bill, the government plans to make it easier for employers and businesses to recognize unions. One of the main functions of a union is to represent workers in negotiations with their employers over wages and working conditions.
Currently, 10% of the workforce must be unionized to apply for recognition, but it has been proposed that this figure could be lowered to 2%.
Under current rules, 40% of employees must vote in favor of recognition, but under the government's new proposals, this threshold would be abolished.
Unions have argued that it is too easy for companies to hire additional workers, making it harder for them to meet the thresholds required to be recognized.
In July, the GMB union lost the vote to recognize the Amazon fulfillment center in Coventry by 28 votes. The union accused the company of filling the warehouse with surplus workers in an effort to thwart its demand for recognition.
Amazon denied doing so and said it recruited the workers as part of normal business planning.
