Explanation

Section 17 of the Trade Unions Act provides civil and criminal immunity to office-bearers and members of registered trade unions for actions done in good faith during trade dispute proceedings. This protection is limited - it covers only a specific section of labour force (those in registered unions) rather than all workers. The reason correctly explains that protection is restricted to union office-bearers and members, which directly supports why only a section of labour force is protected.
