Attack on representation

The Institute of Employment Rights has produced a new report, The political attack on workplace representation — a legal response, by Alan Bogg and Keith Ewing.

The report explains how existing laws on workplace representation fail to protect reps from victimisation and highlights how a combination of these laws and a sustained and vindictive government campaign of attack on union representation places the government squarely in breach of its international obligations.

The report ends with a powerful manifesto for trade union representatives, to reframe the public debate.
