HR Complete: The New Trade Union Landscape
Amongst many other changes, the Employment Rights Act 2025 is fundamentally changing the relationship between employers, trade unions and workers within the UK. This will impact both unionised and non-unionised employers, even in sectors where the unions have had little involvement to date.

Employers who have never previously had to deal with trade unions will need to be ready for the unexpected knock on the door/email in the inbox from a trade union and be prepared for the statutory processes that are triggered. Employers with existing trade union engagement need to understand the changing power dynamic in the relationship and how that is likely to impact on their organisation.
Join our trade union/industrial relations expert Simon Ost to learn about the changes which are being implemented right now and to understand how these statutory changes will affect your organisation going forwards. This will include:
The new right of access to workplaces for trade unions
The new ongoing obligation on employers to publicise trade unions to workers
The increased likelihood that trade union recognition is imposed on resistant employers
The new fast-track process for industrial action
The increased protection for workers who participate in industrial action
The trade union landscape is fundamentally changing … and every employer needs to understand the new landscape in which it is operating.
