Clause 4 - Determination of appropriate bargaining unit
Employment Relations Bill
9:45 am
Mr Bill Tynan (Hamilton South, Labour)
If we are protecting individual rights, and if an individual has the right not to belong to a trade union—a right that we support—surely that endorses the fact that the individual right exists. With regard to the collective unit for bargaining, does the hon. Gentleman believe that 25 per cent. or more would set up individual bargaining, and that that would be the best way for the employer to deal with an issue?
