Overview

In-person briefing with Thompsons Solicitors

The Employment Rights Act is bringing some of the biggest changes to workers' and trade union rights in a generation. Important new rights come into effect this October, and union reps have a key role to play in making sure they make a difference in the workplace.

Join the TUC and Thompsons Solicitors in Bristol for a practical briefing on the latest changes and what they mean for you, your members and your union.

Delivered by employment law specialists from Thompsons Solicitors, the sessions will explain the new rights, explore how they will work in practice and help reps understand how to make the most of them.

Why should you attend?

This is an opportunity to:

  • Get a clear, accessible explanation of the new rights from employment law experts.
  • Understand what the changes mean for your role as a union rep.
  • Explore how the new rights can strengthen workplace representation and union organising.
  • Ask questions and discuss the practical implications with Thompsons Solicitors.
  • Meet and share experiences with reps from other unions.

Who should attend?

This event is for union reps who want to strengthen their understanding of the Employment Rights Act and its impact on workplace organising, representation and negotiations, while connecting with other reps facing similar challenges and opportunities.

Your ticket includes lunch, and refreshments will be provided throughout the day, with dedicated opportunities to network informally with other attendees.
