Working with trade unions survey 2010

One-third of employers recognise more than three unions, with Unite, Unison and the GMB being the most common, according to the 2010 IRS survey on working with trade unions. It also shows that public sector organisations have a greater tendency to negotiate and consult on issues including discipline, grievance, job evaluation and equality.
