It is the role of the Central Arbitration Committee (CAC) to determine applications by trade unions to be statutorily recognised by an employer for collective bargaining purposes.<\/p>

<\/p>

The CAC publishes an annual report detailing its activities over the past year. This can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cac-annual-reports<\/a><\/p>

<\/p>

Where a trade union can demonstrate that it has majority support in the workplace for recognition, the CAC will award statutory recognition for collective bargaining purposes.<\/p>
