Recognition successes

Two unions have recently won collective bargaining rights through the statutory recognition process.

The Unite general union won recognition for manual workers and supervisors at Paragon Vehicle Services (Port of Tyne) without the need for a ballot. The Central Arbitration Committee accepted that the union had majority membership in the bargaining group and there was no significant objection to recognition among the staff.

The GMB general union unanimously won a ballot for recognition at the Nottinghamshire-based garden care firm Doff Portland. Thirty out of the 40 staff voted in the ballot, with 100% voting in favour.
