The IA is green rated and fit for purpose. The IA would benefit from discussing further the impact on trade unions and their members of reducing the current protections from potential damages claims under statutory immunity and the removal of the automatic unfair dismissal protection from employees who do not comply and continue to withdraw their labour.
The IA would also benefit from clarifying the implications of non-compliance with the requirements, in particular the relative responsibilities of employers and unions for ensuring a minimum level of service is provided and any penalties for the parties involved if the requirements are not met.
