Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 June 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

Amendment 216FB seeks to overrule the three- year freeze on the CAC’s power to determine the appropriateness of the bargaining unit following changes to the original unit. This amendment would enable employers to adjust the composition of the bargaining unit post application ballot, to force a reassessment of the bargaining unit, with a potential for derecognition. This would undermine the Government’s aim to prevent manipulation of the bargaining unit by an employer.
