Minimum service levels: Code of Practice on reasonable steps

05/10/2023
ASCL response to Department of Business and Trade consultation on mimimum service levels: Code of Practice on reasonable steps. 
 
The Minimum Service Levels Act along with the corresponding Code of Practice and the non-statutory work notice guidance are likely to contravene international law (specifically the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and international obligations); place unethical demands on unions and employers; and are unworkable. Therefore, in line with our principled, ethical and practical objections as set out in our response, we do not agree with the implementation of this policy.
