[ch 12: page 477]

Collective agreements by a recognised union transfer under regulation 5 of TUPE. They are treated as if they were made with the new employer.



Important changes to TUPE affecting all transfers on or after 31 January 2014 (CRTUPEAR 14) have significantly undermined the legal protection of collectively agreed contract terms under TUPE. See page 481.
