Frances O’Grady, TUC general secretary, on the new £1,200 charge for employees seeking legal action against employers.
 
“Charging upfront fees for harassment and abuse claims, the government is making it easier for employers to get away with the most appalling behaviour.
 
“These reforms are part of a wider campaign to get rid of workers’ basic rights at work. Its only achievement will be to price vulnerable people out of justice,” added O’Grady.
