Employers: recognise a trade union
Ending negotiations
You and the union will not need to continue negotiations if the union withdraws its application. They must do this before the Central Arbitration Committee (CAC) either :
- declares them recognised or not recognised
- tells you that they鈥檙e holding a ballot of your employees
You鈥檙e recognising the union voluntarily
If the union is withdrawing its application because you鈥檝e agreed to recognise them, you and the union can tell CAC by sending a 鈥榡oint notice to cease consideration鈥�. This means CAC will no longer be involved.
Send CAC a letter signed by both you and the representative of the union.
You must do this before CAC declares the union is recognised or up to the last day of the ballot notification period (10 working days from when CAC told you about the ballot).
