The Institute of Employment Rights has brought together 15 of the UK’s leading labour law experts to develop ideas about the future of workers’ rights. The end result is a Manifesto for Labour Law, containing 25 major policy proposals which will be submitted to the Labour Party as part of its Workplace 2020 Review.

This official launch of the Manifesto is free to attend and currently features the following speakers (with more to be confirmed):

- John McDonnell (Shadow Chancellor)

- Ian Lavery (Shadow Minister for Trade Unions and Civil Society)

- John Hendy QC (IER Chair and lead author of the Manifesto)

- Professor Keith Ewing (IER President and lead author of the Manifesto)

- Kevin Courtney (General Secretary, NUT)

- Matt Wrack (General Secretary, FBU)

- Ronnie Draper (General Secretary, BFAWU)

- Dave Ward (General Secreatry, CWU)

- Gail Cartmail (Assistant General Secretary, UNITE)

- Hannah Reed (Senior Policy Officer, TUC)

The Manifesto places trade unions at the heart of labour law, strengthening relationships between the labour movement, the state and employers so that we may work together to build a stronger economy and a brighter future.
