- Submitted by: Murdo Fraser, Mid Scotland and Fife, Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party.
- Date lodged: Wednesday, 13 December 2023
- Motion reference: S6M-11652.1
- Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Thursday, 14 December 2023
As an amendment to motion S6M-11652 in the name of Neil Gray (Application of the Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Act 2023 in Scotland), leave out from second "the" to end and insert "that the Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Act 2023 strikes an appropriate balance between the ability to strike and the protection of lives and livelihoods; notes that most European countries have provisions in place for minimum service levels during certain public service strikes; recognises that public service employees have a right to strike, and that an element of disruption is inherent to any strike, but believes that the wider public expect a minimum level of service during industrial action; notes that the legislation currently only applies in Scotland to the reserved areas of border security, HM Passport Office and nuclear decommissioning, and does not impact on devolved responsibilities in health, transport, fire and rescue and education, considering that the Scottish Government has stated that it will not mandate minimum service levels under the legislation during a potential strike, and calls on the Scottish Government to use the powers that it has been given under the Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Act 2023 to ensure that people in Scotland have the same protections for devolved public services in the event of a strike that those elsewhere in the UK benefit from."
