Transport Union RMT responds to news that transport is one of the sectors targeted for new wave of Tory anti union laws. 

General Secretary Mick Cash said;

"This morning the Tory Government confirm that transport is one of the sectors that they will be targeting with their new wave of oppressive anti-union laws as they seek to ban strikes by the back door. 

"RMT will stand alongside our colleagues in health, education and the fire service to fight this outrageous attack on our basic human rights. 

"It is no surprise that the Tories are resorting to the policies of General Franco to try and tighten the noose of the anti union laws around the necks of those workers in the front line of the fight against austerity. They will have a battle on their hands. "
