Not since Margaret Thatcher vowed to break the power of organised
labour has Britain's trade union movement faced a bigger threat.
The new government wants to make it harder to take industrial
action. Hardtalk speaks to Frances O'Grady, whose organisation -
the TUC - is the collective voice of the unions. Across Europe,

decline. For many of those most in need of support in the work
place - have the unions become irrelevant?
