In a very special edition of the IER News Brief, we bring you videos of Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell and Shadow Business Secretary Rebecca Long-Bailey supporting our ideas for the reform of employment and trade union rights; a new briefing; a new brochure; and a new publication - as well as updating you on all the latest news and developments in employment law as usual.

At TUC Congress this year, the IER will launch our new report: Rolling out the Manifesto for Labour Law - the second edition of 2016's influential Manifesto for Labour Law.

Our launch event at the TUC fringe on Sunday 09 September at 18:30 (or end of conference) will see Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell, Shadow Business Secretary Rebecca Long-Bailey, RMT General Secretary Mick Cash and CWU General Secretary Dave Ward welcome 25 recommendations for the reform of labour law, which the Labour Party has said it will draw upon when it reforms the workplace and the economy.If you're at TUC this year, look out for us in the exhibition hall and join us for our fringe (but get there early as we're expecting a packed house!) Whether or not you'll be at the event, make sure to check out our new TUC 2018 hubpage, full of free new materials on our proposals; and the updated Manifesto page.

 Our brochure 
  Our briefing 
Buy the publicationThe IER’s 2016 Manifesto for Labour Law garnered support from major unions across the UK, the Green Party, the Scottish Nationalist Party, and most of all the Labour Party. Indeed the Labour Party’s popular and influential 2017 Manifesto For the Many, Not the Few adopted many of the IER’s recommendations as a blueprint for future reform.

Now we present Rolling Out, a guide to how our recommendations could be practically implemented. This includes proposals for a Collective Bargaining Act and other legislative reforms to protect workers both domestically and across the international supply chains that support the UK’s economy.At the heart of our proposals is a shift in the focus of labour law to the collective agreement of wages and conditions as opposed to statutory minimums that are outdated, difficult to enforce and inflexible in the face of a changing world of work. In this way, we seek to open the next chapter of democratic society by enhancing democracy at work.

The comprehensive recommendations detailed in this volume have been collaboratively authored by 26 leading labour lawyers and academics from some of the most prestigious universities in the UK. Taken together, they put forth a new framework for industrial relations and workers’ rights designed to better-fit the needs of a post-Brexit, increasingly automated and fragmented workforce.
