Complain about unfair practices
If you feel that another party is using unfair practices to influence the ballot, such as bribery or threats, complain to the Central Arbitration Committee (CAC).
Complaints can be made up to 5 working days after the ballot closes.
If the CAC finds that unfair practices were used, they may:
- reschedule the ballot
- cancel the ballot and declare that the union is derecognised
- cancel the ballot and refuse the application for derecognition
The code of practice on access and unfair practices during the recognition and derecognition process has more information.
