Modern recognition agreements

The challenge for employers

"The successful management of a trade union relationship can be key to an organisation's success and ability to be flexible in implementing necessary change. A well drafted recognition agreement which sets out clearly the scope and remit of collective bargaining rights can provide considerable benefits to employers."
