The government’s response to the Routes to Settlement consultation is now one week overdue.⏰ This missed deadline is further evidence of a systemic lack of attention, care, and thorough planning that has characterised the Earned Settlement proposals from the very beginning. Put it in the bin.

As the employment tribunal backlog grows, some hearings are being scheduled for 2030! But instead of increasing resources, the government has cut the allocated sitting days for judges, even though they expect an upsurge in cases off the back of the ERA. www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2026...

🚨 NEW RESEARCH: The Employment Tribunal system in England and Wales is in crisis. Our new report finds the open caseload has hit a record 65,117—a staggering 43% increase in just one year. The "New Deal for Working People" is hitting a brick wall. 🧵 1/5

Really important report launched 19 May. The employment rights system is in crisis; no legal advice for workers, outrageous tribunal delays and late cancellations and a lack of enforcement of tribunal awards. Hear from FRU's Stephen Daws as part of this excellent @workrights.bsky.social event.
