About this upcoming session

From October, the Employment Rights Act 2025 will bring in several laws that strengthen trade unions’ powers.

Consequently, this means business owners have new legal obligations and complex challenges to consider.

Our webcasts are hosted by industry experts, so you can take a step towards compliance. You’ll learn about:

Greater powers, including the right to enter your work to recruit workers
A new obligation to inform your workers of their right to join a trade union
Additional rights and protections for trade union representatives
