The Baker McKenzie London Employment team is delighted to welcome you back to our Industrial Action webinar miniseries with episode two, where we explore what businesses should do when they receive a ballot notice and the potential legal challenges and pitfalls that often arise. The contents of the ballot notice, ballot paper and industrial action notice are often key areas of dispute when there are challenges to the industrial action process, and are key considerations when organisations are considering injunctive relief.
Jonathan Tuck and Richard Cook dissect some of the key challenges and considerations for businesses should they receive a ballot notice, including assessing the accuracy of the employee categories affected, whether the union has correctly calculated the figure of affected employees in each category and workplace, and the potential identification of who is actually being balloted. They also explore the "after the ballot" process, including the notification of results and notice of industrial action, and issues that companies should consider when assessing the different stages of the process.
Stay tuned for our third and final episode, where we will look at the practical approaches to contingency planning for periods of industrial action.
