"Rishi Sunak’s government is attempting to introduce tough new laws that would
further limit the right to take industrial action amid continuing strikes in
the UK.

This is just the latest in a long line of legislation brought in over the past
50 years that has almost completely eroded such rights. Trade unions were once
a major force in British society, but that is no longer the case. Here, a
timeline of key events explains how the UK got to where it is today."
