Watch live: Decent Work Conference 2024
Together we will debate how policy makers can create change in job quality and security for low and middle-income earners and why this matters. We will also reflect on what the Employment Rights Bill can achieve. Expert speakers will discuss why we need action and what we can learn from the progress other countries have made. And they will make the economic as well as social case for change.
Over the last 15 years, working conditions for many have plummeted. Too many people are trapped in insecure work. Many are unable to exercise employment rights that would give them greater job and pay security. Meanwhile policymakers have lacked the will to act.
Trade unions have made the case in workplaces and the political arena for a better deal for working people. We have shown how insecure employment and in-work poverty harms workers and their families. Impactful legislative change is well overdue.
