About this book

A comprehensive socio-legal evaluation of the 2000 statutory recognition procedure over ten years of its operation. Whilst exploring its implications for the so-called UK 'voluntarist' approach to regulating industrial relations, the authors argue that the effectiveness of the procedure was constrained by its design.
