The Employment Rights Act 2025 brings important improvements, including Statutory Sick Pay from day one and stronger holiday-pay record keeping. But many changes are still to come—and no law enforces itself. Barnet UNISON blog: www.barnetunison.me.uk/wp/2026/07/2... #WorkersRights #BarnetUNISON

A 12-day pay lag may look like payroll admin on paper. For low-paid workers, it can mean rent pressure, travel costs, bills and borrowing. That is why Barnet UNISON is campaigning. www.barnetunison.me.uk/wp/2026/06/0...

Barnet Council stops filling Passenger Escort vacancies. Uses external workers instead Calls it "vacancy management." #BarnetUNISON calls it what it is: back-door privatisation of jobs supporting children with special needs.

🔍 What’s Equal Pay? It’s the law: Men and women must receive equal pay for equal work. That means: ⚖️ Same job ⚖️ Work rated as equivalent ⚖️ Work of equal value If the work’s equal but the pay isn’t – that’s illegal.
