The text below is based on a motion going to Islington South CLP on 24 Jan 2024. Islington council has already passed a long general statement about non-cooperation with the Minimum Service Law. The text will serve also where councils have made no statement yet.
“We call on the Labour group to propose that the council specifically declare, as the Scottish government has done, that it will not issue ‘work notices’ under the Minimum Service Law. The law says only that employers may issue ‘work notices’, not that they must. The TUC 9 December special congress called for a campaign for commitments to refuse to issue ‘work notices’.”
