In its conclusions the CAS stated that the UK must provide information to and facilitate the dialogue between and with the social partners with a view to ensuring that existing and prospective legislation is in conformity with the Convention.

Furthermore, the UK Government has been requested to:

  • report on the results of the 2015 Undercover Policing Inquiry and the 2018 Trades Union Confederation (TUC) allegations regarding surveillance of trade unions and trade unionists;
  • limit and define the investigatory powers of the Certification Officer to ensure that these powers do not interfere with the autonomy and functioning of workers’ and employer’s organizations;
  • facilitate electronic balloting (e-balloting); and
  • improve consultation of the social partners on legislation of relevance to them.
