Complain about your trade union

Skip contents

Attend a hearing

You바카라 사이트™ll usually get the chance to attend a hearing with the Certification Officer to have your complaint heard.

You바카라 사이트™ll get a letter from the Certification Officer asking you to confirm what your complaint is about, for example what rule you think has been broken.

Your complaint will be sent to your union - they can disagree with any allegation you바카라 사이트™ve made.

Provide documents for your hearing

You and your union must send certain documents by a date specified by the Certification Officer.

These include:

  • copies of all the documents that relate to your complaint
  • written statements from anyone that바카라 사이트™s going to give evidence at the hearing
  • written draft arguments
  • copies of any legal evidence that backs up the draft arguments

Get a date for the hearing

You바카라 사이트™ll get a letter from the Certification Officer that sets a date for the hearing when both of the following have happened:

  • your union has replied to the Certification Officer about your complaint
  • you and your union provide the Certification Officer with all the necessary documents

You or your union can ask for the hearing to be postponed if either of you can바카라 사이트™t attend the hearing on the date given.

The hearing guidance tells you:

  • how you or your union might be able to change the date of the hearing
  • what happens at the hearing

Get a decision without a hearing

You can also get a decision from the Certification Officer on your case without having to attend a hearing, for example if both you and the union agree that either the union바카라 사이트™s own rules or the law has been broken.

You바카라 사이트™ll still need to provide the Certification Officer with all the details about the case so they can decide what should happen next.
