Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

Trade unions are institutions with significant—indeed, enormous—political influence, and this Government are allowing a lack of transparency. While businesses are being burdened with new reporting duties, additional compliance costs and even more bureaucratic obligations, it seems that the unions have been given a free pass: exempted from scrutiny, insulated from the very standards expected elsewhere in our economy.
