A NEW anti-trade union law could make it “impossible” for rail workers to carry out meaningful strike action, RMT leaders warned today.
The rail union’s leader Mick Lynch told a rally outside Parliament on Wednesday that the government’s new Transport Strikes Bill amounted to a move to “conscript labour,” but pledged to fight the proposals “all the way.”
“What we’re facing here in the middle of our dispute is a move by the government and the powers that be in this country to conscript labour,” he said.
