TUPE governs how workers are treated following the transfer of a business or
a change in service provision. The Original aim of the Regulations was to
strengthen the rights of workers involved in transfers, and provide them
with continuity of employment and of terms and conditions. But, as the
government continues with their politically motivated attack on workers'
protection through the undermining of employment law including the TUPE
Regulations, information and consultation rights and collective redundancy
rights, the hard-fought for rights of workers, look set to be weakened
further.

The government consultation period on changes to the TUPE Regulations (2006)
closed in April 2013 and we anticipated that, by the time of this
conference, the proposed changes to the Regulations would have been
published. Unfortunately, the government have yet to release them. However,
past experience suggests that once again, legislative changes will focus on
the interests of business and profit - rather than the protection of
workers' terms and conditions. In the Institute's response to the
government's consultation on proposed change to the TUPE Regulations, author
Richard Arthur states "it is impossible to identify one single measure in
the consultation document which even claims to further the aim of
safeguarding employees' rights. This is a set of proposals aimed at
benefiting employers and is, as the Impact Assessment acknowledges, likely
to disadvantage the low paid (especially women), and those with
disabilities".

Our TUPE experts - both legal and trade union - will unpick the details of
the expected new Regulations, including plans to abolish service change
provisions, limit the applicability of collective agreements, remove
protection against dismissal and more.

In this period of austerity, increased contracting out and further plans to
open public services to private providers, it is imperative that trade union
representatives understand how the changed Regulations might impact on their
members and how best to respond both industrially and politically.
