(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency) Newly appointed Business Secretary Sajid Javid has announced that there will be "significant changes" to strike law under the new Tory government.
A strike affecting essential public services will need the backing of 40 percent of eligible union members under government plans, he said. At present, a strike is legal if it is supported by a majority of those balloted.
Britain's unions are already gearing up for a fight, countering that the proposal will make legal strikes "close to impossible".
