THE UK Government has been accused of turning “workers into slaves” with new anti-strike laws that could see unions sued.
Roz Foyer, general secretary of the Scottish Trade Union Congress, has condemned the announcement of a bill – set to be published next week and debated the following – which will ensure minimum safety levels during industrial action for services including health and transport.
Unions have threatened legal action given that, if they do not comply with these minimum levels of service, they could be sued by employers.
