New anti-strike laws for public sector workers could lead to mass defiance, warns union leader Matt Wrack.

Wrack anticipates a campaign of non-compliance and potential strikes, with the law expected to affect sectors like ambulance services, rail networks, and border security. The TUC is considering responses to the law, which has been criticized as "unworkable."
