Recognition and operation of unions - Registrar of Unions

28: Registrar of Unions may seek directions of Authority

You could also call this:

“The person in charge of keeping track of unions can ask a special group for help with their job.”

The Registrar of Unions can ask the Authority for help when they’re not sure how to do their job. If you’re the Registrar, you can go to the Authority and say, “Can you please tell me what to do?” This is about the work you need to do for this part of the law.

When you ask for help, you need to let everyone know who might care about your question. You have to decide who those people are, and then tell them that you’re asking for help. This way, everyone who needs to know about it will be informed.
