Section 236A, subsection (1) provides that a worker has the right not to be subject as an individual to detriment of a prescribed description by an act, or any deliberate failure to act, by the worker’s employer, if the act or failure takes place for the sole or main purpose of preventing or deterring the worker from taking protected industrial action, or penalising the worker for doing so.
	Subsection (2) defines protected industrial action.
	Subsection (3) provides that no account may be taken of the repudiation of any act by a trade union as mentioned in section 21 in relation to anything which occurs before the end of the next working day after the day on which the repudiation takes place.
	Subsection (4) provides that regulations may prescribe detriment of any description.
	Subsection (5) provides that subsection (1) does not apply where the worker is an employee and the detriment in question amounts to dismissal, and signposts that in those circumstances the relevant sections are sections 237 to 239.
	Subsection (6) provides that a worker or former worker may present a complaint to an employment tribunal on the ground that the worker or former worker has been subject to a detriment by an employer in contravention of this section.
	Subsection (7) provides that a worker or former worker has no other remedy for infringement of the right conferred by this section.
