Industrial Relations And Collective Labour Issues

Our team of specialist employment solicitors has extensive experience of advising on collective consultation.

Collective labour issues are particularly prevalent in the current economic climate as many businesses need to effect collective redundancies and reorganisations. For those companies with associations with trade unions, it is also very important to manage the relationship and agreements with those unions in order to reduce the risk of industrial action.

Our team of specialist employment solicitors has extensive experience of advising on collective consultation and collective labour issues. We also act for a number of clients affiliated with trade unions and have wide ranging experience in advising on collective agreements, negotiations and consultations with trade unions in order to achieve effective resolutions.

Recent examples of our work in this area include:

• Implementing a collective consultation process for a FTSE 250 company that needed to terminate its final salary pension arrangements for employees
• Advising an international manufacturing company in relation to its negotiations with trade unionsand employees over several tranches of significant numbers of redundancies
• Advising a household name education client in relation to collective grievances, successfully preventing a matter from progressing to strike action by employees
• Assisting a training body with union negotiations in order to avoid industrial action

For further advice and assistance on any collective labour issues, please contact a member of our employment team.
