Synopsis:

Recent legislation has increased the number of employers who have to deal with trade unions. Even where relations are harmonious, it is sensible for all practitioners to acquire a solid grounding in the law governing industrial relations. This work sets out: the circumstances in which unions acquire statutory recognition rights; the rules on strike action and requirements for balloting; immunities granted to unions; and the impact of industrial action on the relationship between employers and employees. Summaries of the key provisions of the Employment Relations Act 1999 and the other major legislation in this area should help employers determine the kind of links they want with unions, how to achieve them, and the legal implications of such choices.

About the Author: Judith Firth, legal adviser on the CIPD legal Advisory service, and Susan Nickson, Hammond Suddards Edge partner and Head of Hammond Suddards Edge national Employment Unit, write from extensive experience in the area of employment law. Hammond Suddards Edge have offices in London, Manchester and Leeds.
