Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992
在 legislation.gov.uk 查看摘要
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).
