The UK government is planning to introduce a new law forcing workers in key public sectors such as ambulance services to maintain a basic level of service during strike action or risk dismissal
In a statement on Thursday, the government said it would introduce a bill in parliament in the coming weeks to set minimum safety levels for fire, ambulance and rail services. The new law, which would force a certain percentage of workers to keep coming to work on strike days, could also affect nurses, teachers and immigration officers. Workers who strike after they have been told to report to work by their employer and union could face dismissal.
Critical care was exempt from the nurses’ strike, and unions pledged to cover life-threatening emergencies during recent walkouts by ambulance workers. The new bill also covers health services, education, nuclear decommissioning, border security and other transport services. The government said that it will impose minimum safety levels in these areas only if “voluntary agreements” cannot be reached.
