Over the next three days, representatives from across our party will gather in Milton Keynes for one of the most important meetings Labour will have ahead of the general election. The agenda for our National Policy Forum meeting is packed and hopes for bold commitments and radical policy are high. Whilst there will be many important issues discussed I wanted to set out why I think colleagues should support the amendment I’m putting forward to the Work & Business Policy Document which would commit a new Labour government to abolishing employment tribunal fees.
There have been many attacks on workers’ rights under this government – some receiving more press coverage than others. It’s absolutely right that a light has been shone on the use of zero hour contracts and the living wage has moved up the national agenda. But we also need to talk about the quality of life for those in work and about those who suffer injustice at work.
