YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Mick Lynch, the General Secretary of the RMT union, has warned that the UK could soon be as oppressive as China and Russia in stamping out union activity.

He told Sky's Sophy Ridge that proposed laws restricting unions would make it impossible for workers to take industrial action.

He said: "We're far getting to a situation where we're going to have laws that are as oppressive as those that exist in Russia and China.

"They're trying to make it impossible for trade unions to exist in this country.

"They're trying to make it impossible for the people of this country to campaign against poverty....They're trying to regulate unions."
