MPs' report into anti-strikes law branded a ‘blatant attempt to bribe people to scab’
Members of the Transport Salaried Staffs' Association (TSSA) and the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) are joined by their families on the picket line outside London Euston train station as members of both unions take part in a strike, July 27, 2022.
THE TSSA has slammed an MPs’ report into the Minimum Service Levels law as “blatant attempt to bribe people to scab.”
The transport select committee on Thursday challenged the government to ensure the Act’s regulations meet nine legal principles.
Chair Iain Stewart MP said: “We can’t accept an increased risk of lives being put in danger due to a lack of key staff such as signallers, or of those with access needs being neglected if they experience difficulty.”
