OPIN-2023-0331 Opposition to the Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Bill (e) Tabled on 07/02/2023

This Senedd:

1. Condemns the Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Bill.

2. Acknowledges that the Bill would amend the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 by inserting new provisions giving the UK Government significant coercive power to curtail trade unions' and workers' ability to engage in lawful industrial action, universally regarded as a fundamental democratic right.

3. Supports all trade unions and public sector workers in their efforts to resist the Bill.

4. Believes that the Welsh Government should open discussions around the devolution of employment law to secure the collective rights and bargaining powers of workers in Wales.
