The Act is intended to expand upon a commitment made in the Conservative Party’s manifesto for the 2019 general election to require that a minimum service operates during transport strikes, by enabling the Government to regulate for minimum service levels in a range of sectors as outlined in paragraph 15.
Minimum service levels will be implemented via regulations, as provided for in this Act, in specific services. The Government will consult on these regulations before they are made.
This Act and subsequent regulations are designed to enable employers to require enough workers to work so as to ensure minimum service levels are delivered during strikes within relevant services.
