<p>The Department for Transport’s induction pack for new entrants includes the wording:</p><p>“<em>The
department encourages you to join an officially recognised Trade Union and to play
an active part within it to ensure your views are represented. It is, of course a
personal decision whether or not you do join a Trade Union.</em>”</p><p> </p><p>When
a trade union is actively in dispute with the Department and taking or preparing for
industrial action, the Department may choose not to extend departmental facilities
to the union for recruitment and other activities aimed at promoting or preparing
for the industrial action.</p>
