This years Labour Law Highlights presents an overview and critical analysis of the Trade Union Bill including restrictions on the right to strike, removal of check-off and facility time. This comes with LLH 2014 free! The manifesto is a description of a working system that would put workers' rights back on the agenda. It was put together by 15 experts in the field of labour law and is one of our most popular publications.
This publication is a criticism and also a retrospective analysis of what would have historically happened in previous strike ballots if the Tory's proposed TU Bill thresholds were already in place.
This publication busts common myths in business. It debunks the business mantra that the trickle down effect works. It also shows the common Tory arguments of "red tape restricting business" and "more privatisation" to be counterproductive fallacies.
This publication analyses and exposes the myths that have been used to justify the government imposition of fees on employment tribunals. It paints a wider picture about how successive governments have disposed of collective rights in favour of individual rights, which are no longer practically enforceable for workers.
Employment Tribunals were originally intended to be easily accessible, informal, speedy and inexpensive. But according to the authors of this report, policies being pursued by the government are putting access to justice beyond the means of most working people.
In this publication the Institute of Employment Rights argues that collective bargaining is the solution to income inequality and creating a stronger and more resilient economy. Our manifesto is backed by a number of major unions.
ZHCs are highly profitable for employers, but lead to insecurity of income and low pay for workers. The authors point to rigidities in employment law and the operation of the tax-benefit system as being responsible for the rise in zero hours contracting.
An expert analysis of legal arguments around why the Trade Union Bill/Act could be in breach of international law. It also makes a constructive contribution to the case for Trade Union Freedom.
