Trade Union and Labour Relations Act 1974
United Kingdom legislation
The Trade Union and Labour Relations Act 1974 (c. 52) (TULRA) was a UK Act of Parliament (now repealed) on industrial relations.
The Act contains rules on the functioning and legal status of trade unions, the presumption that a collective agreement is not binding, and immunity of unions who take strike action in contemplation or furtherance of a trade dispute. Together with the Employment Protection Act 1975,[1] TULRA formed the basis of the Labour Party's employment law programme under the "Social Contract" initiative.
