Making a trade union access request

Qualifying trade unions have a statutory right to request access to workplaces for certain purposes.

We encourage trade unions making a statutory access request to use the Government's Trade Union Access Request Form Template. Providing all of the information requested will help us review and respond to your request as efficiently as possible. Once completed, please send your request to: kefcotradeunioncomms@kefco.uk

 

KFC operates a franchise model and KFC-branded restaurants may be operated by different employing entities.  Access requests should therefore identify the relevant employer and workplace(s).  If you require information to help identify the appropriate employing entity before making an access request, please contact kefcotradeunioncomms@kefco.uk.

 

What happens next?

Once we receive an access request, we will review it in accordance with the applicable statutory requirements and Code of Practice.

We may contact the trade union representative named in the request to discuss the proposed access arrangements and any relevant practical considerations.

Depending on the request and circumstances, access arrangements can include physical access to a workplace and/or digital communication with workers.
