Section 6: Restrictions as regards names of trade unions.

(1) A trade union shall not be registered under a name identical with that of any existing trade union or so nearly resembling the name of any existing trade union as to be likely to deceive the members or the public.
(2) A trade union shall not be registered under a name containing any words which, in the opinion of the Registrar, are deceptive or objectionable in that they contain a reference (direct or indirect) to any personage, practice or institution, or are otherwise unsuitable as a name for a trade union.
(3) If the Registrar refuses to register a trade union on the ground that the name under which it desires to be registered is, by virtue of subsection (2) of this section, not one under which it should be registered, any official or member of the union may require the matter to be referred to the Minister; and the decision of the Minister on such a reference shall be final.
(4) Where on a reference under subsection (3) of this section, the Minister decides that a particular trade union may be registered under a certain name, the union may be registered under that name notwithstanding subsection (2) of this section.
(5) The foregoing provisions of this section shall, with the necessary modifications, apply in relation to-
(a) any proposed alteration of the name of a trade union; and
(b) any proposal to form a new trade union by the amalgamation of two or more exisiting trade unions,
as they apply in relation to the original registration of a trade union.
