Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992

Overview

The Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 (TULRCA) governs the rights and responsibilities of trade unions, their members, and employers. It consolidates and updates previous legislation related to trade unions and labour relations, providing a framework for collective bargaining, industrial action, and the resolution of disputes in the workplace.

Consequently, TULRCA:

• aims to promote harmonious industrial relations by establishing the rights and duties of trade unions, employers, and employees; and
• provides a legal framework for collective bargaining, trade union recognition, industrial action, and the resolution of disputes.

Employers and trade unions alike must understand and comply with its provisions to maintain harmonious workplace relations and resolve disputes effectively.
