Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if he will bring forward legislative proposals to require law firms to recognise trade unions.
Answered by Mike Freer - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Justice)
The Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 outlines the process for recognising a trade union.
If trade unions wish to be recognised by a law firm, then they may follow the standard procedure in place. Information on this procedure can be found here: Employers: recognise a trade union: When the union requests recognition - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
The legal profession and its regulation are independent of government, and there are no plans to bring forward legislative proposals to require law firms to recognise trade unions.
