THE SNP have condemned in the "strongest possible terms" Conservative anti-strike laws which could see unions sued by employers if they fail to provide minimum levels of service during walk-outs.
The UK Government has announced it is pressing ahead with introducing a bill to Parliament in the next few weeks which, it says, will ensure minimum safety levels during industrial action for services including health, education, fire and rescue, transport, border security and nuclear.
It said vital public services will be able to maintain a "basic function" when workers go on strike.
