Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 June 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

Amendments 215AZZA to 215AZZD, in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Sharpe, seek to circumvent the changes in the Employment Rights Bill that will prevent employers from initiating mass recruitment to dilute the bargaining unit for the purpose of thwarting recognition. Due to the impact that mass recruitment into the bargaining unit can have on an application for recognition, the Government are clear that freezing the composition of the bargaining unit at the point of application receipt is important in ensuring fair recognition ballots.
