You, together with other employees, can ask your employer to keep you informed and consult with you on issues related to your company or organisation.  

This may include:  

• the company or organisation’s performance, for example financially and competitively 

• any changes to your working conditions and employment prospects 

This is called an information and consultation agreement. 

Your employer can start negotiating an agreement without a request from its employees. 

How to make a request  

1. Check that you are eligible 
2. Write to your employer or the Central Arbitration Committee (CAC) with your request
