The Trade Union Act 2016 primarily aimed to reform trade union law in the UK to modernise strike regulations and ensure greater transparency and accountability. Key highlights include the introduction of a 50% minimum turnout requirement for industrial action ballots, and for important public services, a threshold requiring 40% of eligible members to vote in favour. The Act also stipulated that trade unions provide clear details about their political activities and required members to actively opt-in for political fund contributions. These measures aimed to balance the rights of workers with the need to minimise disruption to essential services and the wider economy.
