Social Partnership and Public Procurement (Wales) Bill: A consultation response from IER

 <https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZEvcOqrrT4oE9O2VE_ckUarFTBYFxnelj4d> 

7pm Tuesday 06 April

FREE 

The Social Partnership and Public Procurement (Wales) Bill is currently out for consultation. The legislation, influenced in part by the IER's  <http://www.ier.org.uk/manifesto/> Manifesto for Labour Law, will: 

*	promote tripartite working between trade unions, government and employers at local, regional and national levels;
*	establish a Social Partnership Council to provide leadership for this system; and
*	reform public procurement processes to ensure that public procurement is undertaken with consideration to social, economic, environmental and cultural wellbeing.

This event will educate trade unionists and campaigners on the opportunities presented by the Bill and how they can make the most of them.

It aims to inform Welsh trade unions' consultation responses, and inspire campaigners from across the UK as to how mechanisms to promote workers' voice can be practically implemented. 

Speakers:

Hannah Blythyn, MS for Delyn who has been leading on the Bill for the Welsh Government and will educate delegates as to its scope and potential

Mick Antoniw, MS for Pontypridd who will speak about the Fair Work Agenda

Shavanah Taj, Wales TUC who will lead on the trade union view of the legislation

Lord John Hendy QC, co-author of the Manifesto for Labour Law and Chair of the IER, and Professor Keith Ewing, co-author of the Manifesto for Labour Law and President of the IER, who will bring their formidable expertise to bear on how the Bill can best be used to improve working conditions for all.
