Trade union name changes and amalgamations require two-thirds consent, prescribed notice, and Registrar registration to take effect. Section 24 requires two-thirds member consent for a trade union name change and prescribed notice signed by the secretary and seven members, with the Registrar empowered to refuse registration where a proposed name is identical or deceptively similar; registration makes the change effective. Amalgamations of two or more registered trade unions must follow prescribed procedures with notice by the secretary and seven members of each union and be registered by the Registrar where the head office is situated; registration makes the amalgamation effective. Neither change of name nor amalgamation affects rights, obligations, ongoing legal proceedings, or creditor rights.
