Rishi Sunak urged unions to 'step back' from strikes today as Labour bids to wreck laws limiting the damage from walkouts.
With more industrial action set to cripple the country this week, Downing Street insisted talks were the right way for rail, NHS and teaching unions to resolve disputes.
But Keir Starmer is preparing to mount an all-out attack on new legislation that would force union to guarantee 'minimum service' levels.
Opposition parties have tabled a series of amendments to the Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Bill, which the government is hoping to push through all its remaining Commons stages tonight.
Although the Tory majority means ministers should be able to fight off the changes, the law still faces huge resistance in the Lords.
