A trade union has reported Rishi Sunak's Government to the United Nations over a controversial strikes bill/
The Government is trying to pass a law that prevents strikers from going below a set level of service during industrial action - including industries such as rail, fire, ambulance and health care.
The bill has been introduced after nearly 18 months of near-incessant strike action across the public sector - with rail workers, nurses, doctors, firefighter and others all walking out.General secretary of the TUC Paul Nowak announced that he will report the Government to the UN watchdog over the bill at the start of his union's conference today.
"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. "Unions defeated the Government in the High Court over the unlawful use of agency workers during strikes. We are determined to win again."They're unworkable, undemocratic and almost certainly in breach of international law.'
