Union leader Mick Lynch has compared looming anti-strike laws with "what goes on in China and probably Russia and other repressive regimes".
The rail union chief likened the Tory crackdown with countries where “trade unions aren’t free”, adding that it amounted to “the conscription of labour”.
His remarks came as Rishi Sunak used his first speech of 2023 to confirm that details on anti-strike legislation will be released in the "coming days".
