IWGB launch legal bid for outsourced workers to negotiate collectively with de facto and direct employers
IWGB University of London branch
THE INDEPENDENT Workers Union of Great Britain (IWGB) is bringing a landmark legal action which could introduce the concept of a “joint-employer” to English law, the union announced today.
The IWGB filed a claim for judicial review at the High Court yesterday, challenging an earlier decision by the Central Arbitration Committee (CAC) which held that outsourced workers were not entitled to collectively bargain with the University of London.
The union has been supporting the university’s outsourced workers in their campaign to be brought back in-house since September.
