In plain language

  • A mandatory minimum service will be established for private security guards protecting critical infrastructure, such as ports and nuclear sites, during a strike.
  • Private security guards, security companies, and operators of sensitive facilities must prepare continuity plans and declare strike intentions in advance, under threat of requisitions and fines.
  • You can rely on essential installations and vital public services remaining securely protected against incidents, even on strike days.
