What's the standing of voice recording as they have a conversation with you at work?   I know it's been used in criminal cases and I don't see anything that a tribunal/employer would use to disregard the conversation having breaches of employment/union law.

If you read it again, your question doesn't make sense - perhaps amend so it's clear what you are asking?

Thought it was me, clear as mud.

Covert recordings, or at least transcripts from them, have under some circumstances been allowed as evidence at Employment Tribunals. This has been upheld on appeal. However it is very much at the discretion of the judge and you can expect quite a battle to get such evidence admitted.

It is also worth knowing that whilst it is not a criminal offence to secretly record a conversation you are party to, recording when you are not present (i.e bugging) can be an offence. Distributing or publishing a recording made without the other party's consent might leave you open to a civil claim for damages.
