these arrangements are there and clear for all involved on how the recognition process works, and the courts can review what happens. This Bill, though, excludes workers who join the relevant bargaining unit after the application day; and elsewhere, which we are not discussing now, it replaces the eligibility test. The amendments my noble friend proposes would strengthen the democratic process so that the voices of new workers in the workplace, who may be affected by the industrial action or the ballots as proposed, are not excluded.
