Collective bargaining or legal enactment: the 1999 act and union recognition

Collective bargaining or legal enactment: the 1999 act and union recognition Sidney and Beatrice Webb introduced a dichotomy in 1897: 'The Method of Enactment and the Method of Collective Bargaining'. They predicted the eventual hegemony of Enactment. How does the Employment Relations Act 1999 look in that framework, or others such as Juridification, Regulation, Collective Laissez-Faire and now 'Social Partnership'? The Act offers openings for unexpected regulations (e.g. on takeovers) with support for new individual rights, a few trade union opportunities, limited amendments to members' rights and to strike law though these, as the government had promised, do not structurally change the restrictive 1980s legislation. How far does - or can - such an enactment help to create domestic countervailing power against new global concentrations of capital? Lastly, a sketch of the obligation to 'recognise' trade unions (a proposal with a longer pedigree than some recall) offers legal puzzles about the CAC duty to specify a 'method' for bargaining.

Abstract

Sidney and Beatrice Webb introduced a dichotomy in 1897: 'The Method of Enactment and the Method of Collective Bargaining'. They predicted the eventual hegemony of Enactment. How does the Employment Relations Act 1999 look in that framework, or others such as Juridification, Regulation, Collective Laissez-Faire and now 'Social Partnership'? The Act offers openings for unexpected regulations (e.g. on takeovers) with support for new individual rights, a few trade union opportunities, limited amendments to members' rights and to strike law though these, as the government had promised, do not structurally change the restrictive 1980s legislation. How far does - or can - such an enactment help to create domestic countervailing power against new global concentrations of capital? Lastly, a sketch of the obligation to 'recognise' trade unions (a proposal with a longer pedigree than some recall) offers legal puzzles about the CAC duty to specify a 'method' for bargaining.
