PROGRESS on the Welsh government’s fair work agenda has been stop-start in the two years since the independent Fair Work Commission published its ambitious set of recommendations.
For the most part, the hurdles and delays have been linked to external events — a general election, Brexit, Covid — but nevertheless as a trade union movement we’ve been impatient to see the Welsh Labour administration in Cardiff go further and faster with the powers that it has at its disposal to tackle poor employment practices, inequality, and to strengthen worker power.
This desire for change is driven in Wales by the same trends seen elsewhere in the UK and beyond: a decade of stagnant wages and the sharp growth of insecure and precarious work.
