The US labour secretary also opposes the UK government's plans for “minimum service agreements”.

The head of the UN's agency for workers' rights has denied the organisation backs the UK's tough new strike laws.

It follows a wave of industrial action by frontline public sector workers such as ambulance staff, firefighters and railway workers, which the government says puts the public at risk. Hearing these answers from the ILO, US labour secretary Marty Walsh asked the BBC to ask him the same question about supporting "minimum service agreements".

After some unions did not back a negotiated settlement over a lack of sick pay, President Biden did ban their strike, imposing the settlement. Many individual US states also maintain restrictions on US public sector strikes. for the London School of Economics, Dr Ewan McGaughey, an expert on labour law at King's College London, said that these claims were untrue.
