Nicola Sturgeon vows to fight anti-strike bill 'every step of the way'

BUSINESS secretary Grant Shapps has presented anti-strike legislation to the Commons which will require some public service employees to continue working during industrial action.

The bill has been branded "extreme and heavy-handed" by the SNP who have said the Tories and Rishi Sunak are "vying to outdo [Margaret] Thatcher" in their contempt for workers who keep the country running.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has pledged to fight the proposals "every step of the way" as she emphasised the need for employment law to be devolved.
