Tribunal fees
The announcement that there will be a review into the impact of employment tribunal fees has been welcomed — but the TUC said it must not be a “political stitch-up”.
New figures published by the Ministry of Justice show that the number of single employment tribunal claims brought by individuals between January and March 2015 was 25% lower than over same period in 2014.
TUC general secretary Frances O’Grady said: “Tribunal fees have been a gift for Britain’s worst bosses allowing many to flout the law. Charging people up to £1,200 to pursue a claim has priced thousands out of justice and ruined lives.”
She added that women and the lowest paid had been the worst affected.
