UK moves into category of "systematic human rights violators" according to ITUC Global Rights Index
Legislation restricting the right to strike sends UK down the rankings of the ITUC Global Rights Index
The United Kingdom’s government brought new primary legislation before parliament in January 2023 that would enforce the unilateral imposition of Minimum Service Levels on railway workers, ambulance workers and fire service workers, with provisions for the laws to extend to any services within the transport, healthcare, border force, education, nuclear decommissioning and storage, and fire and rescue sectors.
The introduction of this bill has changed the UK's status from a country that regularly violates human rights to one that systematically violates human rights.
