For employers with recognised trade unions, a unionised workforce, or a recognition claim on the horizon, statutory trade union ballots are set for their biggest change in decades.
In this episode of Bitesize ERA, Amy Stokes and Charlie Rae unpack the Government's plans to introduce electronic and workplace balloting, including what the reforms could mean in practice and why employers should view them as part of a much wider shift in industrial relations.
Amy and Charlie discuss:
These changes are not merely procedural; the introduction of new voting methods will have practical, legal and strategic implications, and there are still a number of unanswered questions for employers to grapple with.
Additionally, these changes do not sit in isolation. As Amy and Charlie highlight, they form part of a wider package of trade union reforms that could reshape the industrial relations landscape in the years ahead.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss what these changes mean for your organisation, please get in touch.
