I didn't think they were a legally constitued Trace Union under the present legislation. Maybe that has changed.
Under the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 (c. 52) the Certification Officer publishes a report listing all the Unions in the land. My copy does not contain the IPF. It may - though - be out of date.
Regardless - they never get close to the membership level required for recognition... And even if they did, running a legally defensible industrial action, against a major employer and their lawyers; would prove financially and resourcefully taxing even for the likes of BALPA...
