An equalities watchdog has warned the government's proposed anti-strikes legislation could be in breach of the European Convention on Human Rights and said it compared poorly with similar laws in other countries.
The anti-strikes bill could be in breach of international law and strip workers of unfair dismissal protections, the equalities watchdog has warned.
Paul Nowak, general secretary of the TUC, said:"The EHRC is right to warn that this draconian legislation could see striking workers losing a vital right - protection from unfair dismissal. "It's time for ministers to protect the fundamental right to strike and drop this nasty bill," he said., the right to strike would be restricted by imposing"minimum service levels".
The EHRC contrasted this with similar laws in Italy, where"legislation provides that an individual cannot be dismissed for failing to comply with a Minimum Service Level agreement".
