Parish and Town Councils: Trade Unions
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether the trade union recognition provisions in the Employment Rights Bill will apply to town and parish councils.
Answered by Justin Madders
Guidance on the trade union recognition scheme is at Gov.uk. This sets out that the scheme is available to unions where the workplace has 21 or more workers. Therefore the smallest workplaces that have 20 or less workers not in scope of the scheme. There are no specific exemptions for town and parish councils.
