ECCR supports calls for better regulation of worker protection

April 2011 ­

ECCR has joined a civil society coalition calling on the UK Government to enhance the protection of vulnerable workers by bringing the Employment Agency Standards Inspectorate under the management of the Gangmasters Licensing Authority and adopting the GLA’s approach of targeted, intelligence-led enforcement across all industry sectors.

The Institute for Human Rights and Business, Anti-Slavery International, Oxfam GB, the Ethical Trading Initiative, the Association of Labour Providers and ECCR have submitted the proposal to Minister for Employment Relations Ed Davey MP as a contribution to the government’s current review of workplace rights.
