3/4 think anti-Trade Union bill wastes police time
THE Tories’ Trade Union Bill has received the thumbs-down from the British public, who deem it a “waste of police time” in a new poll published today.
Over three-quarters of respondents thought the proposed legislation would lead to misuse of the force, which would be obliged to control the use of popular protest aids such as banners and loudspeakers.
A similar number also disapproved of the policing of trade unions’ social media ahead of a strike, according to the YouGov poll.
