Unions slam Tory plans to introduce charges for employment tribunals
Lady Justice

TORY plans to make unfairly sacked workers pay to take their cases to an employment tribunal will allow rogue bosses to “ride roughshod over staff,” the TUC warned today.

The government announced today that it is holding new consultations on the introduction of fees for the right to have access to an employment tribunal.

If the plan goes ahead it will be the second time that the government has attempted to block workers’ access to justice by making it unaffordable.
