The culmination of a fantastic campaign by trade unions saw 147 MPs, almost entirely Labour, turn out two weeks ago to back a Bill designed to give more than one million agency workers equal pay and equal treatment alongside their directly-employed counterparts.

Committed2Equality (c2e), the leading UK employment diversity consultancy, Unite, the largest union in the UK, and TMP, the online political magazine, will be hosting a fringe event at the Labour Party Conference on Monday 24 September from 5.30-7pm in the Franklyn Suite, Connaught Hotel, in Bournemouth.

The event – “Bridging the gap: narrowing the employment divide” – will explore the practical and pragmatic steps the Labour Government needs to take to ensure fair employment and improve the employment and work opportunities for disadvantaged groups.
