**INSTITUTE OF EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **Objectives and activities** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

The principal activity of the company is to advance the education of the public in issues connected with labour law, unemployment, work and any related matter; and to research commission, encourage and sponsor research in any of the above subjects and to publish the useful results of such research. 

## **Introduction** 

In 2021 we were still largely working from home as a result of intermittent Covid -19 lockdown measures. During this uncertain time, we did our upmost to promote the solutions for workers as a post-covid financial crash threatened, and job losses across whole sectors started to bite. We believe the trade union movement needs a common set of demands to put workers' rights at the top of any economic recovery and to reverse the tide of chaos that decades of free market failures have brought us. We see it as our job to inform the labour movement with the ideas needed. 

## **Public benefit** 

We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. 

## **Administration** 

In late October James returned to our office as lockdown restrictions were lifted, getting our office processes back up and running. 

In November Sarah, our Development Officer decided to move to pastures new, and went to work for the NAHT. Sarah's insight, skills and expertise will be sorely missed. Also in November, Cad stepped down as our long serving Director, and Ben Sellers was appointed as the new IER Director. 

As well as Ben and James adjusting to a new team dynamic, we are looking to recruit a member of staff to assist with administrative support. 

## **Members and Subscribers** 

Our membership figures currently stand at 76 (+0), of which 37 are trade union representatives. 

We have a total of 373 (+35) paid subscribers on our database. Of those, 225 (+6) are individuals, 107 (+38) are trade union branches, 10 (-11) are commercial libraries, 8 (-1) are international, and 23 (+4) are free subscriptions gifted to our speakers. Of these, reduced rate subscriptions (mainly students paying £25) now stand at 55 (+6). 

During lockdown we did some work to seek out multiple user licenses for online only subscriptions. This attracted 2 international subscribers, 2 individual subscribers, 15 commercial subscribers, as well as 254 trade union subscribers (TUC, Unite UONC, and AEP users). 

While most paid subscribers continue to manage their accounts offline, 111 subscribers currently pay their dues through PayPal, down by 12% on last year. 

The largest demographic increase has been trade union branches, we assume as a result of branches now being back in the workplace and picking up their post, as well as having branch meetings and access to their cheque books. The next biggest leap was the online only subscriptions which we hope to retain and expand on, as it is a more immediate way to spread our material and it keeps printing costs down. We are considering how best to promote subscriptions and boost subscriptions of all types, as we plan to go to union conferences in the coming year, and reconnect with potential readers. 

Income from online conferences and events decreased to just under £401, a reduction of 90% from the previous year. This is mainly because our in-person events were on hold, and our online events were predominantly free. We hope to pick this up in the new year and test the water for some in person events again. 5,245 (+35) readers now subscribe to our electronic subscription list to receive weekly news briefs and promotions. 

## **Publications** 

During this year we have begun to get back toward pre-pandemic levels of publication production. We've produced the following publications: 

- A publication from a commissioned piece of work for the FBU on 'Threats to collective bargaining in the Fire and Rescue Service: An analysis' by Daniel Blackburn. 

- ' A just share' the case for minimum wage reform', by Kate Ewing. 

- A publication produced for TUC North West ' Fire and rehire: An approach for the North West' by Sarah Glenister. 

- 'Labour Law Highlights 2022', by the Old Square Chambers team.

**INSTITUTE OF EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **Objectives and activities** 

Publications planned for 2022/23 

- The gender pay gap - multiple authors 

- Migrant workers' rights - Manoj Dias -Abey and Katie Bales, Bristol Uni. 

- Work & Health: 50 years of regulatory failure - Health and Safety Expert Group 

- Redistribution of working time - Phil Taylor 

- Labour law highlights 2023 - Old Square Chambers team 

- Environment & work: a just transition - Prof David Whyte & Ben Crawford 

- Fire and rehire - tbc 

- Union organising - winning strategies for the movement 

In 2021, the 4th edition of the IER/Pluto International Journal was published. The contents included our publication ' Brexit and workers' rights' by Prof Keith Ewing and Prof Nicola Countouris, 'International H&S standards after Brexit' by Prof David Whyte and Andrew Moretta, and 'Trade unions and economic inequality' by Prof Lydia Hayes and Prof Tonia Novitz. We are still reviewing the open access model to see how much income it brings in, versus making some of our older content free and more widely distributing it across the world. 

## **Achievement and performance** 

## **Projects, commissions and public policy work** 

We have successfully completed our two-year health and safety project, with the assistance of our 11 health and safety experts and most particularly, Professors Phil James and David Waters who co -authored the final comprehensive book, Work and health: 50 years of regulatory failure. We aim to launch the book on 19th July 2022, the 50th anniversary of the Robens Report being presented to Parliament. The book highlights the changing nature of the world of work and the need for radical reform of our framework of labour law, including but not restricted to our health and safety laws and enforcement mechanisms. 

This year also saw the completion of Professor Phil Taylor' s empirical research informing Stage 1 of our 3-year project looking at the redistribution of working time. Based on that work, the Alex Ferry Foundation has now agreed to fund Stage 2 of the project, which will involve IER working with CSEU members and three targeted companies to negotiate shorter working time collective agreements based on the priorities identified by the workers in those companies. 

Our project work on Fire and Rehire, both with Barry Gardner and the North West TUC helped set expectations on what could be achieved if the political will existed. The report for the North West TUC is due to be launched in July in the North West. The original work and briefings prepared for Barry Gardiner, MP by John Hendy and Keith Ewing, though unsuccessful in the Commons did raise the profile of this vital issue for the labour movement. 

In terms of Commissions, Daniel Blackburn 's excellent IER report for the FBU Threats to collective bargaining in the Fire and Rescue Service: An analysis was warmly welcomed by FBU members and has provided timely arguments for the FBU to use in their response to the long awaited and recently published Government White paper on the fire service. 

Given the attacks on the FBU and the dissatisfaction with the current round of recommendations emerging from Pay Review Bodies, our thoughts now are turning to building on the excellent discussion at our 2021 cross-union round table discussion on Pay Review Bodies v Collective Bargaining. It would seem that now is a good time to draft a report on the history, role, purpose and future of pay review bodies. 

In terms of public policy work, Kate Ewing kindly drafted an IER response to the Low Pay Commission on the National Minimum Wage, which has been extremely well received. 

## **Conferences and events** 

In 2021- 2022 the institute hosted 7 online events, and an in-person Labour Party fringe meeting. ' Employment law update', was once again our highest attended paid event. Our free events have been streamed across several social media platforms, with numbers of viewers reaching over 7,000 people for the 'May Day - Resist, Repeal, Replace' event. Online Events in 2021-2022 

- May day - Resist, Repeal, Replace - Saturday 1st May 2021 

- Automation: negotiating a fair deal when technological improvements are made - Tuesday 22nd June 

- Trade unions, unemployment and workers' rights - Wednesday 7th July (joint with CTUF) 

- Human rights and employment rights - Wednesday 21st July 

- Employment law update - Thursday 21st October 2021 Online Events for 2021-2022 

We are currently considering whether some in person labour law events will be viable towards the end of 2022, and will be announcing our plans for events this year in the weekly newsletter.

**INSTITUTE OF EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **Achievement and performance** 

## **Communications & Digital Developments** 

The past year has been one of change on the communications front. Long standing member of staff Sarah Glenister left for a job at the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT). Whilst that was a wonderful opportunity for Sarah, it left us without a communications officer - and an awful lot of experience and knowledge. For a period, as an interim measure, the various parts of Sarah's role were divided between new Director Ben Sellers and Deputy Director James Harrison. Obviously, this is a period of transition, while we adjust to new roles and coming out of the pandemic. However, there has been a regular flow of articles and news stories on the IER website, which have been shared via the newsletter, an increase in social media posts and an addition to our social media platforms, in LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a platform specifically about employment and work, so it is ideal for more in-depth discussions of the workplace. We hope to generate a sharp rise in followers and engagements on LinkedIn over the next year. 

As a team, we've formulated a communications strategy which prioritises building our social media accounts and reaching new audiences. That may mean making our social media more conversational and accessible, trying to reach more of the labour movement and the public by getting articles into a wider range of publications and using video and infographics to engage a younger audience. In relation to the latter, we are also looking at introducing an Instagram account to the IER's social media armoury. 

We've seen a steady increase in our current social media accounts. Facebook has grown from 1,309 followers this time last year, to 1,818 (a 39% increase). And our Twitter account has grown from 3,281 to 4,499 during the same period (a 37% increase). 

At the same time as developing the range of our social media output, we have started the process of mapping our current and potential audiences, in terms of awareness of the IER' s work and regularly analysing our social media stats and reach, including analytics that tell us what the age, gender and geographical profile is. This will be part of a long-term approach to extend the reach of our website news, articles, blogs, videos, briefings, and publications. 

Website use has seen a slight drop off after a peak following the redesign of the website in 2020. In the last year, it  has dropped 8.7%. Apart from the P&O articles mentioned above, the most popular stories on the website over the last year has been a piece on the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill (An IER guide) and a similar resource on  the 2016 Trade Union Act. These guides and briefings are IER staples, and they are very important to our core audience. 

In recent months, the P&O story has dominated our website content and social media. Professor Keith Ewing wrote a three-part dissection of the scandal, which was shared extensively across social media and John Hendy wrote a piece which set the P&O sackings in the context of diminishing employment rights and restrictions on solidarity action. The P&O scandal has not only connected with a section of the general public, but it also bears out the issues that the IER have highlighted for a number of decades, so it is a pivotal story. So, it was significant that these articles achieved an impressive reach, partly due to the beginnings of a new social media strategy beginning to emerge. 

Over the last year, we have continued to expand our coverage to newspapers, magazines, and papers as part of our review of our comms strategy, we are building a more extensive press list. 

## Conclusion 

The covid pandemic was a difficult time for us all. At IER we shifted our working to accommodate the challenges of the day. In the last quarter of this year the real challenge has been shifting back to older processes whilst reviewing what worked well during lockdown. With new staff ready to take on post -pandemic challenges, this will no doubt take some interim adjustment to reinstate our usual efficient ways of working. The staff and our experts are up to that challenge, and we are confident we will deliver as always, for the work that lays ahead.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF INSTITUTE OF EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Institute of Employment Rights ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2022. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
