Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992

ਸਾਰ

The Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 is the principal statute governing trade unions, employers' associations, collective bargaining, and industrial action in Great Britain. As a consolidation Act it draws together decades of earlier legislation. It defines what a trade union is and regulates its status, administration, elections, and political funds (Part I); protects individuals against discrimination and dismissal on trade union grounds (Part III); governs collective bargaining and the duty to consult on collective redundancies and transfers (Part IV); and sets out the framework for lawful industrial action — the statutory immunity from tort liability for acts done in contemplation or furtherance of a trade dispute, the rules on peaceful picketing, and the requirement to hold a properly conducted ballot before calling a strike (Part V).
