Schedule to the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 for the purpose of facilitating collective bargaining recognition. It is too early to say whether the complex arrangements set out in the Schedule will substantially increase collective representation in general or in safety matters in particular. The EU remains committed to worker participation and there is some justification for the assumption that the EU intends that such participation will normally be through trade unions. However, in the UK, the decline in trade unionism has resulted in many workplaces where the employer does not recognise a trade union as representing all or any of its workforce. This means that there are many more workers now than there were when Robens reported who have no trade union channel of communication with their employers on safety matters, though this is the situation that ‘New Labour’ took up government committed to changing. It might possibly be argued that, 20 or so years after the publication of the Robens Report, employees have a greater entitlement to information, but less power to bring about change, than that Committee envisaged; while through ‘empowerment’, as granted in legislation and operated in practice, they have greater responsibilities.
