LATEST NEWS & EVENTS TUC speaks out against 'anti-union laws'  People's right to strike in the UK has been undermined as a result of anti-union laws, it has been claimed. According to a spokesman for the Trades Union Congress (TUC), complex legal regulations surrounding workers' rights to take industrial action need to be altered. The representative remarked: "As recent judgments have shown, complicated laws do not benefit employers nor employees and we want the laws reviewed so that the law on strikes is made much clearer." He also suggested that it was alterations implemented from the 1980s onwards that have taken their toll on the ability of employees to register their grievances using this form of action. His comments came in the wake of a public address by Tony Woodley at the Unite Conference in which he claimed the right to strike in Britain is "hanging by a thread". The spokesman added that politicians should scrap laws that undermine staff members' ability to withdraw their labour in order to register their disapproval of working conditions.
