Employment Rights BillContribution
Our amendment would simply allow the CAC discretion to consider these fluctuations. It ensures that workers are not excluded simply because they joined after a fixed date in a sector where employee numbers change constantly. This discretionary power for the CAC is vital to protect democratic fairness. It prevents arbitrary exclusions that would undermine the legitimacy of the recognition process. To ignore the realities of employment volatility is to impose a one-size-fits-none model that risks disfranchising tens of thousands of workers.
