Employment Rights BillContribution
This is not a call to weaken enforcement; it is a call to make it smarter, fairer and more targeted. We want to see bad employers held to account and to protect workers from exploitation and unsafe conditions, but we must ensure that enforcement functions are being exercised in a manner that is proportionate, strategic and evidence-based. We must make sure that we do not, in the pursuit of justice, end up punishing the very businesses that are doing their best to comply, simply because they lack the resources or guidance to get it right every time.
