Illegal strike against pay cap 'very likely'

Today

Available for over a year

Leader of Unite union Len McCluskey has said he is willing to break the law in order to hold a strike in protest of the cap on public sector pay increases. Speaking to the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Ross Hawkins, Mr McCluskey said: "In relation to the public sector pay cap I think there should be co-ordinated action." This is despite a new law requiring a 50% turnout for successful strike ballots. "I think that's very likely and very much on the cards," he said. (Image: Len McCluskey. Credit: Getty Images)
