Make Work Pay: protection from detriments for taking industrial action
We are seeking views on the types of detriments that employers should be prohibited from imposing on workers for taking industrial action.
Last fetched 03 May 2026 · gov.uk
Detail
The Employment Rights Act 2025 provides new protection for workers against detriments that they are subjected to by their employer to penalise, prevent or deter them from taking official industrial action.
The act enables the government to set out the detriments which are to be prohibited in regulations.
This consultation invites views from trade unions, employers, workers, and other interested parties, on what those prohibited detriments should be.
