Employment Rights BillContribution
On recognition, I note that the Government’s new schedule 2 updates the original clause 51, with additional and welcome provisions on union recognition processes, including preventing an employer inflating the bargaining unit with transferred employees à la Amazon, where workers ascribed to that bargaining unit had no connection with it whatsoever. This was to prevent employers reaching a recognition agreement with a non-independent union to prevent recognition with an independent one.
