London, Thanasis Gavos

The British government has announced that it will introduce draft legislation in the coming weeks that would provide for a mandatory minimum level of operation of six critical public services during strikes.

These are services in health and education, fire, ambulance, railway and nuclear facility management.

The announcement follows two months of continuous action by workers in various sectors, mainly in rail transport and the NHS health system, over pay demands.

Labor unions reacted angrily to the government’s announcement, while the main opposition Labor leader Sir Keir Starmer had earlier said that as a government his party would reverse any restrictions on strikes introduced by the current Conservative government.
