The Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Act 2023 (c. 39) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom affecting UK labour law designed to force trade union workers in England, Scotland and Wales to provide a minimum service during a strike in health, education services, fire and rescue, border security, transport and nuclear decommissioning. The law was criticised as being not in the 2019 Conservative Party manifesto, being a violation of human rights, and being a violation of international law.
The Scottish Government confirmed that it would not enforce the act in Scotland.
The act was repealed in December 2025 by the Employment Rights Act 2025.
