| Comment | He can join a union even if the company don't recognise unions. First, the Union normally gets in touch with the company just as a matter of course so that they can try and get more of the employees on board. It's at this point the employer raises their silly objections and show their arse. Red flags will be seen by the union person and from that point they know they have a dickhead employer, and nothing pleases them more.
They will then work to get the employer to recognise the union. Might never happen. But, if the company continues to prevent its employees from joining or tries to block the unions attempt at recruiting, then the union will hammer them in court.
And even if the company never, ever recognises the union it is still worth being a member, because even though the company dont recognise the union, places like employment tribunals definitely do and if your ever in the unfortunate position of taking a dickhead employer to task at a tribunal for something the union representing you gives you a whole load more clout. |
