Managing Union Relations and Industrial Action

Identifying potential problems and resolving industrial action

Industrial action has the potential to cause serious disruption to a business.

Ideally, a business needs to be able to identify when disputes are likely to occur and, if an industrial action arises, to access a legal team with experience in minimising its impact. It is important, when a dispute occurs, to be able to resolve it as quickly as possible.

At FCB Workplace Law , we have a great deal of experience in identifying and resolving threatened industrial action, so as to prevent disruption to businesses.

In the event there is an industrial dispute, we have the skills and experience to resolve it as quickly as possible.
