Britain's opposition Labour Party would repeal recently-introduced legislation that limits workers' rights to strike if it wins an election expected next year, deputy leader Angela Rayner said on Tuesday, pledging to enhance employee protection.
The promise to reverse the Strikes Act within 100 days of taking power represents a clear pitch to the party's traditional support base of trade unions and workers as the party begins to flesh out its campaign platform
The act requires striking workers in key sectors such as the rail, ambulance and fire services to provide minimum levels of service during any industrial action. "The next Labour Government will ask Parliament to repeal these anti-trade union laws within our first 100 days," she said in a speech at the Trades Union Congress annual conference in Liverpool.
