The British government is about to launch one of the greatest ever attacks on trade union rights. The so-called minimum service levels regulations may sound innocuous, but let’s be clear: trade unions are the last line of defence for workers and their communities, so we say, loud and clear, that we will fight this iniquitous legislation with all the power we can muster.
Tory ministers are staggering from one desperate expediency to another, but they need to understand that we are going to take a stand. It’s what the trade unions are for – defending working people.
