The TUC accuses UK Tory Eurosceptics of disguising plans to tear up workers\u2019 rights.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The Trades Union Congress (TUC) has accused Tory Eurosceptics of undermining a wide number of labor laws that has emerged from Britain\u2019s membership of the European Union (EU) over the past years.<\/p>\n

The TUC said the Conservatives\u2019 bid to abolish the EU social and employment law is a cover-up to tear up British workers\u2019 rights.<\/p>\n

The Union\u2019s accusations came after a group of Conservative MPs said their primary objective over the country\u2019s break up from the EU was to see the return of social and employment legislation from Brussels.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Conservatives want a free market Europe without workers’ rights, controls on the financial sector, equality laws, human rights and so on,\u201d The TUC said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe PM’s strategy is that if he can blackmail the rest of the EU into that, then he will put that to a referendum and seek the British people’s endorsement.\u201d<\/p>\n

British Prime Minister David Cameron is under growing pressure from backbenchers for a referendum offering voters the choice of signing up to a new EU deal or quitting.<\/p>\n
