IDS Trade Unions Handbook 2024

The IDS Trade Unions Handbook provides a clear and comprehensive account of the law governing the relationship between trade unions and their members and between trade unions and employers. Among the topics covered in detail in this Handbook are the complex statutory recognition procedures, the restrictions on trade unions’ use of funds for political purposes, trade union members’ right to complain of a breach of union rules, information and consultation rights, the law governing collective agreements, and workers’ protections from detrimental treatment and dismissal related to trade union activity and membership. Since the previous edition in 2018, the chapters on detriment, unlawful inducements and unfair dismissal have been reorganised and revised to reflect significant recent case law; new sections have been added to cover the Certification Officer’s extended powers under the Trade Union Act 2016; and there is an explanation of the new restrictions on check-off in the public sector, which come into force in 2024.
