Britain fleshes out legal powers to curb strike disruption

Britain will introduce legislation to ensure public services including railways, ambulances and border security maintain minimum service levels to limit the disruptive impact of strikes.

"We are doing everything in our power to stop unions de-railing Christmas for millions of people," British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said in a statement on Monday.

"This legislation will ensure more people will be able to travel to see their friends and family and get the emergency care they need."
