Is ir legal to deny non union members access to ACAS after domestic options have failed	sossai	21/07/2007 08:29
I have been shown a Grievance Policy Procedure that prevents employees who do not belong to a union from seeking redress for their grievances via ACAS after local alternatives have failed.Is this legal? It states that issues that cannot be resolved within the company can only be referred to ACAS by a union on behalf of the member.Which means staff will either be forced to join a union or abandon the search for a solution.I am not very comfortable with this.Is it legal.
