YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPlans to change the law to allow agency workers to fill in for striking staff have been branded "reckless" by unions ahead of looming industrial action that threatens to cripple the rail network later this month.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps told a newspaper that any such move would not affect "this particular set of strikes" but that "further measures certainly would come in during this particular dispute, if it can't be resolved".
But Labour told Sky News that the government should "act like firefighters rather than arsonists" as the RMT union prepares for what could be the biggest rail strike since the network was privatised in the 1990s.
