Statutory Trade Union Recognition Procedure in the UK

Más información sobre el libro

The book analyzes the UK’s third statutory trade union recognition procedure, highlighting its mixed impact on union negotiations. While it offers a potential lifeline after years of unfavorable legislation, many agreements remain voluntary and the statutory provisions often fail to promote voluntary negotiations. It discusses how certain union strategies may inadvertently hinder recognition and examines the tension between promoting cooperative relations and maintaining union influence. This work is valuable for academics and practitioners in industrial relations and human resource management.
