Detailed explanation-1: -A union may claim to be recognized as a representative union for an industry in a local area if it has a membership of at least 25% of the workers of that industry in that area. iv. When a union is recognized, there should be no change in its position for a period of two years.
Detailed explanation-2: -Compulsory recognition and duty to negotiate in good faith (1) Where a trade union has been certified as a recognised bargaining agent for the bargaining unit in accordance with this Part, the employer shall recognise the union, and the union and the employer shall meet and engage in bargaining.
Detailed explanation-3: -The main difference between registration and recognition of trade unions is that registration is done by the registrar and recognition is done by management as a collective bargaining agent. None of them is mandatory under the Trade Union Act.
Detailed explanation-4: -The very purpose of unions in the labour market is to voice the issues faced by the workers in their employment, hence the role played by trade unions is critical. This is called collective bargaining; it is the process by which the employees/workers put forth their issues before the management or the employer.
