The law on trade union recognition took effect last June and unions
now have a clearer idea of how employers are responding. In some
cases employers are simply facing up to overwhelming ballots in
favour of recognition while in others they are using a range of tactics
to thwart union campaigning.
This conference will bring together union activists and experts to
discuss how successful unions have been in taking advantage of the
new law and what scope employers have to block recognition.
Speakers will include:
Mark Briggs researcher with finance union UNIFI
Stephen Cavalier senior partner with employment lawyers Thompsons
Jeremy Dear national officer NUJ journalists' union
Duncan Keys assistant secretary Prison Officers' Association
Dr Sian Moore researcher at the Centre for Economic Performance working on the Leverhulme project on the future of trade unions
There will also be speakers from the ISTC community union and TUC.
