Opponents have dismissed it as 'distraction'.
The Government's anti-strike plan is needed to stop lives being "put at risk", according to Telford's MP – although opponents have dismissed it as "distraction".Ministers are looking at passing a law which would require a minimum service level during strike action – meaning some health workers could be forced to work, even if they had voted for strike action.
"The recent strikes we have seen have had disproportionate impacts across the economy and directly on the public. "The new legislation will not outlaw strikes; it will ensure that a minimum standard of service is maintained so that the public can be confident that the public services they fund are there for them when they need them.”
Wrekin Conservative Mark Pritchard echoed the comments of his party colleagues, saying: “I support the right to strike, but for key services there always needs to be a minimum level of service guaranteed, which is something this legislation seeks to protect.” But there has been strong criticism of the plan from elsewhere, with Helen Morgan, Liberal Democrat MP for North Shropshire, saying: “This looks like another attempt by the Conservatives to distract from their appalling mismanagement of the economy and from their failure to avert strikes in the first place.
