Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “If you wanted an example of just how out of touch with reality this government’s priorities are, then it is summed up by this legislation. We’ve got a cost-of-living crisis, an NHS crisis, people are struggling and the government is targeting the right to strike. 

“Rather than concentrating on tackling the terrible mess they’ve made, they’re trying to attack the very organisations that defend working people. This attempt to shut down those voices won't work and will extend industrial action.”
