About the seminar

While the PIDA offers remedies to those who are victimised or dismissed for raising concerns, it still doesn’t change the culture of work so that a worker feels secure in speaking out. So at a seminar organsied by the IER on Tuesday 20th July 2010, academics, lawyers and trade unionists were asked the question: do industrial relations in the UK still preserve a culture of secrecy?
