This week, IER published an <a style="text-size-adjust: 100%; color: rgb(0, 124, 137);" href="https://www.ier.org.uk/news/new-govt-employment-law-enforcement-body-is-the-least-they-can-do/">initial a</a><a style="text-size-adjust: 100%; color: rgb(0, 124, 137);" href="https://www.ier.org.uk/news/new-govt-employment-law-enforcement-body-is-the-least-they-can-do/">nalysis</a> of the government's announcement of a new Single Enforcement Body for labour law.<br><br>
Director of the IER, Carolyn Jones, warned: "This new body will only protect the most mistreated workers from the worst kinds of exploitation. For the majority of people – 14.5 million of whom are already living in poverty – it will do nothing.<br><br>
“Worse, current details suggest it might even weaken labour law, by introducing a system of ‘compliance notices’ rather than civil penalties for what the government describes as ‘lesser’ breaches of the law. It is yet to be seen which types of exploitation are considered unimportant.<br><br>
“These proposals are a fatally watered down version of the IER’s plans for a Labour Inspectorate. It appears to have virtually no proactive role to ensure compliance with the law, relying on workers to speak out, but offers nothing to prevent employers from dismissing insecure workers in retaliation for complaints made.<br><br>
“Other countries, even the USA, are announcing shifts in their policies towards progressive trade union rights and regulating the gig economy.<br><br>
“But not Westminster. On the same day this new body was announced, it <a style="text-size-adjust: 100%; color: rgb(0, 124, 137);" href="https://www.ier.org.uk/news/govt-allows-anyone-to-spark-investigations-into-trade-unions/">committed to plans to weaken the trade union movement further</a>.<br><br>
“Government knew it had to do something about the rising scourge of exploitative work, but this really is the very least they can do."

Our speakers at this event will consider the past, the present and the future of automation and its interaction with the workplace and workers' rights.<br><br>
Dr Leo Impett of the University of Durham will share his work identifying an ingrained bias towards worker exploitation within systems that rely on artifical intelligence.<br><br>
Louisa Bull of Unite the Union will consider the impact on workers of historical advances in technology and how unions can ensure that an automation-led increase in economic productivity can be more fairly distributed among the population instead of simply lining the pockets of the rich.<br><br>
Finally, General Secretary of the ACDU, James Farrar - who was a lead claimant in the case against Uber - will discuss the present-day fight against exploitative technology.<br>
