For the last few
years, the Tories have re-negotiated employment rights to the employer’s
advantage claiming that doing so would benefit the economy. It was the EU in
the main which prevented them going too far, along with some of the stronger
unions.
The Tories version of
give and take is also worth noting. They gave us The Equality Act 2010, which
means that we can’t be bullied at work or harassed and discriminated against on
protected grounds of gender, race or disability etc. But then they made it prohibitively expensive to take an Equality Act
2010 case to tribunal or court with court fees running to thousands.
With the EU out of
the picture following #Brexit, workers rights and employment law will be
looked at again by the Tory right wing. I’m
worried about the forthcoming employment agenda.
We need the strongest
Labour government in opposition now. We need the strongest trade unions. I’ve
got a lot of respect for Jeremy Corbyn, but this is too big a job for him. We
need, um...
Robin Hood?

great blog. thank you "Eva".
I decided to write about my experience dealing with daily bullying because if I need to let it out. And after 3 years of being in the same situation I need to document it. Not sure this will come handy one day. Please have a look at my blog

You are talking a load of rubbish. The Labour party wont make any difference at all. I suffered the same problem as you prior to 2010 when there was a Labour government. I took my employer to a Sex Discrimination Tribunal. It was all held largely in favour of the employer. I won nothing at all. He just got a telling off. I tried to fight for my right to holiday pay and tried to enlist help from the unions but they wouldn't help at all and neither would the EU who were allowing Great Britain to get away with not paying holiday pay to temporary agency workers. Something needs to be done but the Labour party are no better than any other party.
grr she does not tal
k rubbish at all ! xxxxx
