Trade Union Recognition Bill, 1998

Public bill · Private Member · Introduced

The Bill would create a process for resolving disputes when an employer refuses to recognise a trade union, first through conciliation and then through the Labour Court. If recognition is granted, employers would have to negotiate, consult and allow union representation; workers seeking recognition would be protected from dismissal, with binding workplace orders available as a last resort.

Formal long title
