Abstract
In the last few years a dramatic decline in union density has prompted the Irish Congress of Trade Unions to seek a formal procedure to support union recognition. This has resulted in the institution of new codes of practice and the passage of the Industrial Relations Amendment Act, 2001. In this paper, using a number of case studies, we examine the practical application of these initiatives and their effectiveness in creating conditions for union recognition. The evidence from the case studies suggests that the Act is inadequate in facilitating independent collective representation and provides little protection for union activists and members in the recognition and dispute process.
