# TRADE UNION RECOGNITION LETTER
Date: 5 August 2036
Parties: United Warehouse Workers and Larkspur Distribution Ltd
## 1. Purpose and parties
United Warehouse Workers asks Larkspur Distribution Ltd to recognise the union voluntarily for collective bargaining about pay, hours, health and safety and workplace procedures for the 86 warehouse operatives at its Milton Keynes site.
## 2. Facts, scope and terms
The proposed bargaining unit excludes managers and confidential HR staff. The union encloses membership evidence and proposes an initial meeting on 12 August 2036 to agree the unit, recognition process, representatives, information sharing and a timetable without prejudicing any statutory route.
## 3. Process and responsibilities
Larkspur should acknowledge the request and identify its decision-maker. Both sides will communicate accurately, avoid retaliation and protect confidential membership information. Recognition, if agreed, will be recorded in a written collective agreement with a review mechanism.
## 4. Evidence, records and safeguards
The parties should retain the relevant contract, notice, invoices, records and correspondence, and restrict access to personal or confidential information to those who need it. The stated amounts and dates are fictional worked-example facts and require checking against source records.
## 5. Review, escalation and outcome
If the issue is not resolved, the parties should identify the appropriate next step, which may include an internal process, mediation, court or regulator. Silence or part performance is not treated as acceptance or waiver.
## 6. Reservations and practical protections
This document is a general fictional example, not individual legal advice and not a guarantee of eligibility, liability or outcome. Where necessary, an independent professional should check the facts and current law.
## 7. England and Wales law and completion
This completed fictional sample is made on the date above under the law of England and Wales and subject to mandatory protections. It does not exclude any right, liability or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.
