Strikes and the law
The Strikes (Minimum Service Level) Act 2023 (the Act) has received Royal Assent and came into force.
The Act came into force on the day it was passed (20 July 2023), but will have no immediate impact on strike action as the Act itself does not set minimum service levels. Instead, it gives the Secretary of State the power to make regulations that set MSLs in respect of services that fall within health, education, fire and rescue, transport, border security and nuclear decommissioning.
Lets watch this space to see how this develops.
