Thousands of workers who have fought hard to win employment tribunals are never being paid the money that rogue bosses owe them, with no consequences for bosses but a huge impact on them. Privileged to be working on this project with the brilliant @mellino.bsky.social and team at @tbij.bsky.social

I also want to highlight the amazing work by my co-authors on this symposium - @bevclough.bsky.social, @jillstavert.bsky.social, @colinimckay.bsky.social, Linda Steele, Oche Onazi, and Peter Bartlett. You can find the full symposium here: academic.oup.com/hrlr/issue/2...

I am working with @mellino.bsky.social to uncover the many injustices workers are facing going through employment tribunals. Please help share our callout with your networks (available Polish, Portuguese Punjabi - Gurmukhi or Shahmukhi, Spanish, Romanian and Urdu) ⬇️

Here are 2 pieces I wrote when I broke the story of William Lindsay's suicide in Polmont in 2018. They expose failings in the prison & the care system.
