Employment Relations Act 2004
The Employment Relations Act 2004 is mainly concerned with collective labour law and trade union rights. It implements the findings of the review of the Employment Relations Act 1999, announced by the Secretary of State in July 2002. The centrepiece of the 1999 Act was the establishment of a statutory procedure for the recognition of trade unions by employers for collective bargaining purposes.
