UK is now coming up with a law that prevent essential service workers from striking in a way that breaks down essential services. That is the direction they are taking. But that will take at least 6 months.

Longer than 6 months. Even if it passes Parliament in both houses, it will definitely get challenged in court by the unions who will seek to have it ruled unlawful through violating ECHR laws pertaining to the right of workers to strike. 

Tories have no guarantee of making this stick unless they repeal ECHR. And that will open up a bigger political mess than what they face currently.
