Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

I have to ask: exactly which ideas of equality will be promoted? What information or advice will be given? What aspects of equality will be ascribed value? After all, all the evidence shows that, on the key contemporary fight for women’s equality, there has been a one-sided ideological conformity in national unions’ policies, certainly at a leadership level. It is shocking that so many unions have declared that they will defy the Supreme Court’s clarification of equality law, which rather begs the question: which version of equality will equality reps promote in the workplace? Will such legal misinformation be part of the learning and training in working hours that Clause 62 requires?
