THOUSANDS of workers descended on Parliament yesterday to pile pressure on MPs to oppose the “nasty, unjust, anti-worker, pro-blacklisting” Trade Union Bill.

MPs joined trade unionists in condemning the Tories’ unpopular Bill, which seeks to restrict workers’ rights, with Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn warning that it wasn’t only “an assault on the basic right to strike, a cornerstone of democratic rights around the world, but on the fabric of democracy.”

He said: “It is an attempt to tie the hands of people at work, rigging the rules in favour of the powerful,” while promising that “if it does become law, Labour will reverse it — and strengthen rather than weaken people’s rights at work.”
