Collective employee relations
What does a union have to tell its members and the employer about planned industrial action? Nick Chronias explains.
The Trade Union Act introduced rules on balloting for industrial action in important public services that set the bar high for workers. Nick Chronias looks at how the law might work in practice.
New picketing laws came into force in March designed to prevent trade unions adopting intimidating tactics during industrial action. Nick Chronias, partner at DAC Beachcroft, looks at the likely impact of the changes and whether they could lead to new union tactics in disputes.
The Trade Union Act 2016 is now law, but will it prevent strikes like those in recent months by staff at Southern Rail and London Underground or those by junior doctors?
