Unions warn Strikes Act could breach post-Brexit deal and ‘stoke UK-EU tensions’
THE TUC and Ireland’s ICTU warned today that the Strikes (minimum service levels) Act could breach a post-Brexit trade deal and inflame tensions between Britain and the EU.
According to the union bodies, the Act could put Britain in breach of its labour obligations under the UK-EU trade and co-operation agreement.
The unions say that such a violation could lead to “hefty sanctions” and “stoke tensions” between Britain and the EU.
