Business Secretary Grant Shapps, has announced new legislation which will require several public services to maintain a minimum level of service during industrial action.
Mr Shapps said the new measures are about protecting the public, adding that “there has to be a minimum safety level that people can expect, even on strike days.”
Unions have condemned the move and threatened legal action, while Labour said it would oppose the bill in Parliament.
