What will this event cover?

Delivered in partnership with Thompsons Solicitors, this practical event will help union officers understand the latest developments in the Employment Rights Act (ERA) and what they mean for organising, negotiations and workplace representation, while providing opportunities to network and share experiences with officers from across the movement. Lunch and refreshments will be provided throughout the day.

The session will also explore the next phase of reforms expected in October and hear practical experiences from unions already working with the new rights.

A key part of the event will be hearing directly from union officers about their early experiences of the ERA, including any challenges, changes in practice, and benefits for unions and their members, alongside interactive polling and a Q&A session with legal experts.
