	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/06/2023 answer text <p>Collective bargaining in the UK is largely a matter for individual employers, their employees and their trade unions. Many employers recognise a union voluntarily. Where an employer refuses to recognise a union, our trade union law provides for a statutory recognition procedure. This allows independent unions to apply to the Central Arbitration Committee (CAC) to be statutorily recognised for collective bargaining purposes.</p><p>Unions that can demonstrate that they have majority support for recognition in the workplace will secure statutory recognition from the CAC.</p> answering member constituency Thirsk and Malton answering member printed Kevin Hollinrake question first answered 20/06/2023 16:12:25 answering member 4474 label Biography information for Kevin Hollinrake
