THE TUC is mounting an international challenge to “unworkable” Tory anti-strike legislation, which makes Britain even more of a pariah than it already was, the union body said today.
It’s challenging the Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Act through the United Nations’ Geneva-based workers’ rights arm, the International Labour Organisation (ILO), and is being backed by the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC), which represents 45 million trade unionists.
The ETUC said anti-union laws already make it harder for working people in Britain to take strike action than in any other Western European country.
