Description
'The Employment Rights Act 2025 marks the most significant expansion of trade union rights in a generation. With the upcoming 30 October 2026 reforms introducing new employer duties to issue written statements on union rights, expanded physical and digital workplace access, and new facilities for reps, every employer needs to understand their upcoming legal obligations. This session provides a strategic overview of these changes, helping you maintain a positive workplace culture while staying compliant with rigorous new union laws.
Join Amanda Chadwick for an expert session where we explore:
The new mandatory duty to issue workers with written statements regarding their right to join a trade union.
Managing enhanced workplace access—covering physical and virtual access rights for independent unions (and exemptions for businesses with fewer than 21 workers).
Accommodation and facilities for trade union, learning, and equality representatives carrying out their duties.
Managing the increased powers of trade unions, including simplified recognition processes and removal of certain voting thresholds.
A breakdown of the repeal of the "Minimum Service Levels" and what the new rules mean for potential business continuity.
Navigating strengthened protections for staff participating in union activities or taking lawful industrial action against detriment.'
