The ILO recognises minimum service levels can be a sensible solution to protect the public from serious consequences of strikes. The Bill is clear that before making regulations setting a minimum service level (MSL) for a particular area, the lead Department must consult widely. This will give relevant trade unions the opportunity to feed in their views. Once an MSL is in place, the legislation also requires employers to consult with a relevant trade union, and have regard to their views, before issuing a work notice.</p> answering member constituency Thirsk and Malton answering member printed Kevin Hollinrake question first answered 24/01/2023 12:51:48 answering member 4474 label Biography information for Kevin Hollinrake
