THE Tories are “ploughing ahead” with “spiteful new laws” to limit workers’ right to organise despite a growing list of condemnations, the TUC has said.

Concerns were raised by the union body after the Joint Committee on Human Rights (JCHR) said that the government has failed to allay fears about its Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Bill breaching international law.

In a letter to the government, it also criticised the inadequate consultation process.
