<p>HS2 Ltd formally recognises the Transport Salaried Staffs’ Association (TSSA) for
collective bargaining purposes for its directly employed staff.</p><p> </p><p>HS2
Ltd and the TUC have an 'Initial Framework Agreement (IFA) 2016'. The IFA is not designed
to cut across or replace any existing or subsequently agreed collective bargaining
arrangements, for example those that HS2 Ltd may agree with its own staff.</p><p>
</p><p>The contractors that HS2 Ltd engages with in the construction and operation
of the railway will have their own relationships with their staff and the trade unions
that represent them. IFA is separate from those arrangements. It is not a stage or
escalation point in the Machinery of Negotiation for HS2 Ltd or its contractors.</p>
