TUC to report Government to UN workers’ rights watchdog over new strikes law

The TUC is reporting the Government to the United Nations workers’ rights watchdog over the controversial new law on strikes, it has been announced.

Unions will attack the legislation during a debate on Monday, saying the new law is unnecessary and unworkable and will do nothing to resolve disputes. “We believe the Strikes Act falls well short of that, and that’s why we have submitted a case to the ILO over these new laws. “The Strikes Act is the nadir of the Conservatives’ wretched record on living standards and rights at work.”

Mr Nowak was backed by European Trade Union Confederation general secretary Esther Lynch, who said: “The Strikes Act is a fundamental attack on the right to strike and will make the UK an international outlier on trade union rights and labour standards.
