‘Minimum service level’ legislation covering sectors including health expected to be announced this week
Anti-strike legislation is expected to be brought forward later this week, as Rishi Sunak’s government scrambles to get a grip of the ongoing industrial disputes.
The prime minister will announce legislation to enforce “minimum service levels” in six sectors, including the health service, rail, education, fire and border security. Ministers are also understood to be considering introducing laws allowing bosses to sue unions and sack employees if the minimum levels are not met.
