Employment Relations Act 2000

Strikes and lockouts - Procedure to provide public with notice before strike or lockout in certain passenger transport services

95: Penalty for breach of section 93(4) or 94(4)

You could also call this:

“You can get in trouble if you don't tell people about changes to bus or train services before a strike or lockout.”

If you are an employer, you need to be careful about following certain rules. These rules are in section 93(4) and section 94(4) of the law. If you don’t follow these rules, you can get in trouble. The court can give you a penalty, which is like a punishment.

It’s important to know that these are the only consequences for not following these specific rules. You won’t get in any other kind of trouble for breaking just these rules. But remember, it’s always best to follow all the rules to avoid any problems.
