Prospect signs voluntary recognition agreement with HE Space

PROSPECT has signed its first voluntary recognition agreement with a company solely involved in the fast-growing space industry.

Describing the deal enabling collective bargaining as a “significant milestone” for the trade union, Prospect negotiator Ian Kelly said: “By securing this agreement in the growing UK space industry, we are ensuring that the values of fair work and good conditions are upheld in new frontiers.

“Our dedicated members and activists at HE Space have been instrumental in this achievement and, together, we will continue to champion the best interests of all employees.”
