Derecognise a union
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 at any time up to the end of day after the ballot closes.
Where 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 Ballots for Trade Union Recognition or Derecognition has more information.
