The State of UK Workplace Rights in 2025
Report launch event
Workplace rights in Britain are changing. The introduction of the Employment Rights Bill in 2026 will bring a much-needed expansion of protections for millions of workers.
While there’s no doubt this is positive news, there’s one glaring problem: most British workers don’t know their rights or how to use them.
Our research shows a shocking lack of understanding about workplace rights and the Employment Tribunal process.
Our CEO, Danae Shell, will be presenting the findings & hosting a live discussion of these issues with Justin Madders MP and Bruce Robin (Senior Legal Officer, UNISON) & Sam Tarry.
