Public and Commercial Services union (PCS) on the picket line, March 18, 2024
A LEGAL challenge to the government’s repressive minimum service levels anti-strike laws has been given the go-ahead.
The High Court has ruled that Civil Service union PCS challenge the laws through a judicial review of their legality.
The Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Act 2023 gives new powers to employers in certain sectors to impose minimum service levels during strike action, forcing workers to break their own strikes or face the sack.
