There have been attempts by the government to say the updated EHRC guidance doesn’t affect workplaces, but we anticipate many employers will look to this guidance as the standard to apply.

If this could affect you, we need your voice: https://surreycounty.unison.site/2026/06/12/opposing-the-ehrc-guidance-we-need-your-voice/

Our rights at work are under attack.

Reform UK has pledged to rip up legal protections for workers and renters.

Their Great Repeal Bill would strip our rights and our voice. It would hand power to bad bosses and rogue landlords. The planned attacks include:

- Taking sick pay, bereavement leave, and pregnancy protections off millions of workers.

- Legalising fire-and-rehire and workplace discrimination.

- Reintroducing "no-fault" evictions and reducing limits on rent increases.
