Book excerpt: This text examines the compatibility of UK employment law with the European Convention on Human Rights and, in particular, the potential impact on three main areas: individual employment law, where the process of bringing a case before the employment tribunal and the terms and conditions of employees working for public bodies may fall foul of Article 6 (The Right to a Fair Trial); collective employment law, where the law relating to trade unions and industrial action is examined, in the light of Article 11 (Freedom of Assembly); and discrimination law, with the requirements of Article 14 (Prohibition of Discrimination) and previous decisions of the European Court of Justice).
