The purpose of the Act is to enable minimum service levels to be maintained within key sectors in the event of strike action. The legislation seeks to balance the ability of unions and their members to take industrial action with the need for the public to access key public services.
Education stakeholders are invited to contribute to the consultation here:
Minimum service levels in education - Department for Education - Citizen Space >>
