The effect of so directing or specifying in relation to a provision is that the provisions of section 18 providing for conciliation officers appointed by the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service to conciliate between the parties, or possible parties, to proceedings before employment tribunals are applied in relation to proceedings arising out of a contravention, or alleged contravention, of the provision.
Section 80(1) of the Employment Rights Act 1996 protects employees entitled to parental leave against being prevented from taking the leave or having it unreasonably postponed.
Section 70B of the 1992 Act gives trade unions recognised pursuant to Schedule A1 of that Act a right to be consulted by the employer about the training of workers within the bargaining unit provided a method for the conduct of collective bargaining has been prescribed by the Central Arbitration Committee and has not been varied or replaced.
Paragraph 156 of Schedule A1 to the 1992 Act gives workers the right not to be subjected to detriment on certain grounds connected with the operation of the provisions of the Schedule. The provisions deal with recognition and derecognition of trade unions for the purposes of collective bargaining.
The Order comes into force on 6 June 2000.
