Can I be disciplined for talking to a union at work?
No. You are legally protected from "detriment" or dismissal for participating in trade union activities at an appropriate time. Under the 2026 rules, employers must facilitate private communication between workers and union officials during agreed access visits.
The basic rule is that an employee has a right to seek advice and guidance from their trade union representative at an appropriate time for any relating to a work issue.
