About the ConferenceFor our second Workplace Issues conference in the North West, the Institute has invited a range of experts to take a look at some of the most common issues that affect people at work day-to-day. The conference will bring together legal, trade union and social policy experts to determine what can be done to protect workers and ensure their rights are not undermined. Experts will guide you through workplace issues such as mediation, how use of agency workers can undermine rights, restructuring and redundancy, facility time and victimisation and more. In the current economic climate, trade union reps are battling against redundancies and job cuts; the imposition of lower terms and conditions including pay freezes; the use of greivance and disciplinary procedures to remove people from jobs without paying redundancy, and the victimisation of reps negotiating and defending workplace agreements. This conference will update you on what the law says and how best to use it, together with informed insights into issues facing trade unionists in the North West. An ideal opportunity to learn, network and share experiences. We are aware that there may be industrial action taking place on this day in support of pension rights and are considering ways in which we can engage with, and support front line activities on the day.
