Commentary on provisions of the Act New section 234G: Interpretation of terms relating to minimum service levels
This section sets out the meaning of various defined terms used in the Act including that:
Minimum service regulations are defined in section 234B(1);
Relevant services are defined in section 234B(3); and
A work notice is defined in section 234C(2).
	Subsection (2) makes clear that the meaning of ‘strike’ where used in sections 234B to 234F, does not include overtime bans and call-out bans and that such bans constitute action short of a strike for the purposes of minimum service levels. This aligns with the same definition used for the purposes of a ballot on industrial action, as referenced by s229(2A) of the 1992 Act.
