Abstract

Having examined the background to the design of the 1999 statutory recognition procedure, this chapter analyses its operation over ten years, providing a review of the outcomes of applications to the CAC reported on its website, between June 2000 and March 2012. It is the basis for subsequent consideration of whether and in what circumstances the procedure provides an effective mechanism for workers seeking representation for collective bargaining. The analysis traces the level of applications; rulings on admissibility and the bargaining unit, decisions on whether to order a ballot and the proportions of statutory and semi-voluntary agreements emerging from the process. It also looks at CAC decisions over the method of bargaining following an award of recognition and the utilization of the derecognition provisions in Schedule Al. The chapter assesses how the CAC has used its discretion and starts to examine how far the parties are able to influence this. It concludes by assessing the extent to which the CAC process has had an impact, or ‘shadow effect’ on voluntary recognition claims that do not take the statutory route.
