KEIR Starmer has been challenged to back the devolution of employment law to Scotland and team up with the SNP to defend workers against the Westminster Tories “attack on rights”.
SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn wrote to the Labour leader inviting him to a meeting to “find common cause” and “work together” to stop Rishi Sunak’s anti-strike law bid.
The Prime Minister last week promised “tough” new laws to limit the impact of strike action, but has faced fierce opposition from trade unions. The legislation would include widening its scope to ensure minimum levels of service during industrial action on transport or other critical public services, including the NHS.
