Transport strikes bill is a naked attempt to stop workers improving pay and conditions

Trades Union Congress (TUC)

Commenting on the Department for Transport’s publication today (Thursday) of legislation to restrict the right to strike in the transport sector, TUC General Secretary Frances O’Grady said:

“These proposals will undermine the right to strike. This is a naked attempt to stop transport workers taking action for better pay and conditions.

“These changes are unfair, unworkable and incompatible with our international commitments.

“This is no more than a lame duck Prime Minister lashing out at working people and their unions. Trade unions will oppose these proposals every step of the way.”
