Britain set to invoke emergency powers over 35 day strike
The British government plans to use sweeping emergency measures in the coming days to counter the maritime strike that has lasted 35 days. Officials fear labor boycotts if the Royal Navy is deployed to clear congested ports, while unions resist. The move follows rejection of a court of inquiry report that urged a 40 hour week within a year, with the NUS demanding an immediate 40 hour week. Prime Minister Harold Wilson has sought a settlement through mediation based on the report.
