My employer says they do not recognise trade unions – what does this mean?

0

Employment law encourages employers to work in partnership with trade unions through a recognition agreement. This sets out issues, which the trade union and the employer will discuss – this list may include pay, working hours and annual leave entitlement. An employer can consult and negotiate with a trade union such as the RCN. Not all employers recognise a trade union but this does not affect the RCN’s ability to represent you if you experience problems at work. Employment law states that you are entitled to be accompanied by a trade union official at a disciplinary or grievance hearing. This means the RCN can provide you with continued support in an employment situation and help to get you the most positive outcome.
