It’s Not Just The Golf Club…

Commenting on the results of the Discrimination Law Review published today (Tuesday), TUC General Secretary Brendan Barber said:

‘We welcome efforts to simplify and consolidate equality law. The right to be protected from unfair discrimination needs to be easy to understand and easy to enforce.

‘There are also some useful improvements suggested, including more protection from harassment. But those looking for major advances today - such as protection for those who fall foul of employers because of their caring responsibilities - will be disappointed.

‘The TUC will use the consultation period to press for a more effective and wide-ranging package. We will work to stop the review going down as a missed opportunity to tackle unfair discrimination at work, not just the golf club.’
