Employment Act 2008

99.Section 174 of TULRCA 1992 provides a right for individuals not to be excluded or expelled from membership of a trade union, unless the exclusion or expulsion is for a reason specified by the section. Section 174(2)(d) makes it unlawful for a trade union to expel or exclude a person on the sole or main ground of “protected conduct” of that person. Sections 174(4A) and 174(4B) define “protected conduct” as membership or former membership of a political party. Section 176 of TULRCA 1992 provides remedies where the employment tribunal finds that a trade union has breached this right.
