The Royal Institute of British Architects council has agreed to
re-recognise the MSF union.
The MSF, which claims to represent 85% of RIBA staff, was de-recognised two years ago after the appointment of Dr Alexander Reid as director-general.
The union says de-recognition led to a strife-torn period of restructuring and job losses at the institute. A union campaign subsequently won the backing of Labour employment spokesman Michael Meacher.
MSF general secretary Roger Lyons said: "Professional staff have reasserted their right to be true stakeholders with the backing of an effective and influential union."
n The MSF is claiming a 5% pay increase for heating and ventilating operatives. The union also wants overtime rates for hours worked in excess of the basic 38-hour week.
