Welcome to The Work Couch, the podcast where we discuss all things employment.
In our second live episode, recorded before a special audience of RPC clients, host Ellie Gelder
is joined by three leading voices in employment law to dissect - and make sense of - the transformational and ground-breaking Employment Rights Bill. The panel comprised:
- Professor Catherine Barnard, Professor of European law and employment law at the University of Cambridge;
- John Bowers KC, of Littleton Chambers. John is Principal of Brasenose College, University of Oxford, and also sits part-time as a judge in the Employment Appeal Tribunal; and
- Shantha David, Head of Legal Services at Unison, the UK's largest trade union.
The panellists each share their insights into the practical implications of many of the key reforms introduced by the Bill, including: "day one" rights to protection from unfair dismissal; restrictions on fire and re-hire; trade union-related reforms; changes to collective redundancy; bereavement leave and the strengthened duty to prevent sexual harassment.
They also provide their key watch-outs and tips for employers and business leaders, as they look to navigate the evolving employment law landscape.
Please note: This episode was recorded on 30 September 2025 in front of a live audience at RPC's London offices as part of the Employment, Engagement and Equality team's panel event exploring the Employment Rights Bill.
