CAC applications for union recognition

The challenge for employers

"The importance of understanding the complex legal provisions that enable trade unions to secure collective bargaining rights is key to achieving an organisation's objectives. Employers must be able to think two or three steps ahead at all times when navigating their way through the recognition process."

Thomas Player, Partner

How we can help

Legislation has created significant trade union recognition rights and presents a considerable challenge for employers. Eversheds has carried out more work in this area than any other law firm in the UK. This includes advising employers seeking to resist recognition, assisting the negotiation of the best possible collective agreement and representing companies at the Central Arbitration Committee.
