The Government is “picking a fight with unions” to try to hide its own economic failures, a Daily Mirror summit heard.
Frances O’Grady, general secretary of the TUC, claimed the Tories were opposing pay demands from workers because they have “messed up.”
She told the Mirror’s strike summit: “I have a strong suspicion that if you wanted to run down our NHS, our education system, our public services this is the way to go about it.”
