Tories attack Welsh devolution law preventing agency workers from breaking strikes

30 June 2022

RMT Press Office:

RMT has responded to Westminster attacks on Welsh devolution law preventing the use of agency labour to break strikes.

RMT general secretary Mick Lynch “The latest attack on trade union rights is not just an attack on all trade unionists but an anti-democratic move to undermine Welsh devolution.

“Using agency workers to break strike action is immoral and impractical on the railways.

“Our members are highly skilled and cannot simply be replaced by agency staff.

“RMT will use all legal means and peaceful civil disobedience to resist any further attacks against trade union rights.”
