Section 226(2B) of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 (“the 1992 Act”) (inserted by the Trade Union Act 2016 (c.15)) introduces a new 40% threshold of support that must be satisfied in ballots for industrial action in important public services. This applies unless the union reasonably believes that a majority of those balloted are workers who are not normally engaged in the provision of important public services.
These Regulations specify for the purposes of section 226 of the 1992 Act the important public services in the fire sector. Separate Regulations specify the important public services in the health, education, transport and border security sectors.
