ANTI-STRIKE measures to be tabled in Parliament tomorrow “smack of nazi Germany,” Aslef general secretary Mick Whelan said yesterday.

As news emerged that the current wave of transport strikes is spreading, the train drivers’ union leader warned the government was targeting unions because of their effectiveness in resisting the Tories’ class war.

“I think it’s shameful that this Tory government is coming after the one group of people — the trade unions — who are able to stand up for ordinary working people as well as the poor and the weak, the oppressed and the dispossessed,” Mr Whelan said.
