Disciplinary and grievance procedures - a guide to the new law

This booklet examines how unions are set to take advantage of the new law by ensuring their officers and reps are properly trained. It also looks at the new code of practice on disciplinary and grievance procedures from the advisory and conciliation service ACAS. The guide uses the code and survey evidence from workplace unions to demonstrate best practice in drawing up disciplinary and grievance procedures.
