"Working in hospitality can be really insecure. You can be especially vulnerable if you don’t know your rights. That’s why I joined a union - they’ve got your back."

Taylor Review: Agency workers recommendations

Our key views on the Taylor review recommendations and the issues raised for consultation can be summarised in this report.

Taylor Review: Measures to improve transparency in the UK labour market

The government’s response to insecure work is to increase transparency in the workplace. But providing workers with more information will not, by itself, change the imbalance of power in the workplace.

Taylor Review: Enforcement of employment rights

The Taylor Review missed the opportunity to put forward recommendations that would counter the systemic problems in the UK labour market that cause large-scale non-compliance with employment rights. Wider action is needed to make sure working people have access to an effective system for enforcing employment rights.

Taylor Review: Employment Status

The TUC believes that there is a compelling case for the government to reform employment status rules so they reflect the reality of the workplace and raise the floor of rights for working people.

TUC's response to Taylor Review consultations

Our responses to the Taylor Review consultations on agency workers, the enforcement of employment rights, employment status and measures to improve transparency in the UK labour market.
