Overview of the Act
Reproduced verbatim from the Explanatory Notes published with the Act on legislation.gov.uk (Crown Copyright, Open Government Licence v3.0). Explanatory Notes are prepared by the responsible government department and are not part of the Act.
The Act enables the implementation of minimum service levels (MSLs) in certain services during periods of strike action. The Act amends the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 ("the 1992 Act") to: restrict the protection of trade unions under the 1992 Act from legal action in respect of strikes relating to certain services and the automatic protection of employees from unfair dismissal where provision has been made for minimum levels of service (MSLs). The services will be prescribed by regulations, following consultation; and enable employers to issue work notices to require the minimum service levels to be delivered for particular strikes in specified services.
