Anti-strike bill: Ambulance unions 'put people's lives at risk' by refusing minimum levels of service, Business Secretary Grant Shapps says

The GMB union, whose ambulance worker members are going on strike on Wednesday, said it was an"extraordinary attack".

Labour has said it would repeal the bill, with Deputy Leader Angela Rayner telling the Commons the proposal will lead to nurses being sacked and is an"outright attack on the fundamental freedom of British people". Conservative MP Stephen McPartland said it was"shameful, shameful, shameful to target individual workers and order them to walk past their mates on picket line or be sacked".Business Secretary Grant Shapps said there can be minimum service levels while respecting people's right to strikeThe Conservative party's 2019 election manifesto already promised a minimum service law for public transport, with a bill introduced to parliament in October.

Consultations over what exactly the minimum levels would be are set to begin soon and further details are due to be published next week when MPs will get a chance to debate the bill during its second reading in parliament.Proposals 'unworkable'
