Redundancy and the law: fear and economic uncertainty at work

Wednesday 8th July 2009, 1:30pm – 4:15pm

NUT, Hamilton House, Mabledon Place, London WC1H 9BD

It is clearer than ever before that the needs of workers - first to protection against arbitrary closures and second to adequate compensation should closure occur - need to be reasserted. So what does the law say? What are the strengths and weaknesses and how should the law be improved? What can trade unionists do above and beyond the limitations of the legal framework? This IER conference will heard from speakers including Roger Jeary, director of research at Unite the union; Rob Smith, Thompsons Solicitors; and Matt Waddup, University and College Union.
