PCS welcomes planned scrapping of Minimum Service Levels

PCS general secretary Fran Heathcote said: “We’re very proud of the role PCS has played in the downfall of Minimum Service Levels.

“When they were introduced, we warned they would effectively criminalise strike action for thousands of our members in the Border Force and the Passport Office, which is why, in January this year, we launched a judicial review to stop them.

“We’re pleased a court battle wasn’t necessary and hope their repeal signals the beginning of a new dawn in labour relations and a significant improvement in workers’ rights.

“We call on the Labour government now to repeal all other anti-trade union laws.”
