This seminar commemorates the 40th anniversary of IES, discussing the significant changes in employment relations since the early 1990s. Key topics include the impact of EU social and employment policies, experiences of discrimination in the workplace, and the effectiveness of anti-discrimination measures. We explore lessons learned from tribunal cases, the challenges faced by claimants, and the evolving landscape of labor law in the UK. The discussion aims to highlight the importance of workplace rights, compliance, and best practices for future improvement in employment relations.
