Union Responses to the Introduction of Personal Contracts

Abstract

A recent Court of Appeal ruling has highlighted the pitfalls of personal contract arrangements. It has indicated the need for employers to be careful to preserve individual employment rights when wanting to follow the increasing trend of dispensing with collective agreements and negotiating with employees individually. The ruling is a significant boost to trade union strategies by reinforcing individual rights to union membership.
