Lavery warns of workers’ reaction to Trade Union Bill
TORY attempts to crush dissent from cuts by curbing trade union rights will meet “civil disobedience,” Labour MP Ian Lavery has predicted.

Mr Lavery, who leads Labour’s Trade Union Group of MPs, called the Bill a “ferocious, full-frontal attack on the trade union movement.”
