UK Labour & Employment Webinar: Trade union access requests are here: How should UK employers respond?

Since gaining a statutory right to request access to workplaces on 30 October 2026, trade unions have moved quickly. Employers across a range of sectors have already received access requests (some before the legislation even came into force!), ranging from carefully targeted approaches to what appear to be large-scale mail-merged campaigns.

How should employers respond? What factors should influence the decision? And how should organisations balance legal and employee relations considerations?

Join us for a short, practical webinar examining the key issues that employers need to be aware of when managing these new trade union access requests. Drawing on our recent experience advising employers across a range of sectors, we will share common issues arising from the early requests received and the practical steps that we are recommending to clients.

Whether your organisation has already received a request, or wants to be prepared should one arrive, this session will provide practical guidance to help you navigate this new area.
