Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 June 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

Finally, Amendment 216MZC ensures parity by granting employers the same enforcement rights against unions as those afforded to unions or workers in the existing drafting. If a union fails to comply with a CAC order, the employer must have equivalent standing to seek enforcement through the CAC. This balances rights on both sides and prevents a scenario where only one party type can act, thereby safeguarding procedural fairness. Equal enforcement rights deter non-compliance by any party and reinforce confidence that the CAC’s decisions will be implemented.
