UK anti-strike law is ‘galvanising moment’ for unions, says TUC boss

Paul Nowak calls new law ‘spiteful’ and says TUC will defend any worker who exercises their right to strike

Rishi Sunak’s “spiteful” new anti-strike laws have created a “galvanising moment” for the UK’s trade union movement, the TUC general secretary has said.

Speaking before a special congress of union leaders on Saturday about how to respond to the Strikes Act, Paul Nowak promised the TUC would throw its weight behind any worker hit by the new law.
