FORTHCOMING CHANGE: The legal framework for giving protected status to industrial action and picketing is to be amended under clauses 54 to 61 of the Employment Rights Bill, introduced on 10 October 2024 (see Practice Note: The right to take industrial action—Employment Rights Bill). This includes a number of proposed changes to balloting and notification requirements, indicated where relevant in the Practice Note, below. Clause 118 of the Bill confirms that many of the proposed changes will come into force two months after the Employment Rights Act 2025 is passed. The Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Act 2023 will be repealed on the day on which the Act is passed. For further information on the Employment Rights Bill, generally, see Employment News Analysis: The Employment Rights Bill, and Employment Rights Bill 2024-views from the sector, LNB News 10/10/2024 85. To track the progress of the Bill through Parliament, see Practice Note: Employment Rights Bill—tracker. The government also launched a public consultation on creating a modern framework for industrial relations.
