conference

At the Tory party conference in 2014, Cameron announced that he was ready to
remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights. In April 2015
that threat was included in the Conservative Party election manifesto,
reflecting Tory plans to replace the Human Rights Act 1998 with a British
Bill of Rights.

So what would be the impact of such a change on workers’ rights? To begin
with it would enable British Judges to ignore rulings of the European Court
of Human Rights (ECtHR) and would undermine the European Convention on Human
Rights (ECHR) – the international treaty first drafted in the post-war years
to protect fundamental rights and freedoms.

A flood of watchdogs and organisations have come out against the move, which
despite government claims, is clearly intended to remove rather than
strengthen civil liberties and will further deregulate and remove health and
safety and employment protections from the statute book.
