Closed Introduce a new enforcement scheme for businesses that violate the Equality Act

Closed on

Introduce a new enforcement scheme for businesses that violate the Equality Act 2010. This should include immediate fines for discrimination and greater public accountability by publishing a list of violators.

Employment tribunals can be lengthy processes, and many cases may settle privately, we think this may be to hide discrimination. We believe fines create immediate accountability and a public register ensures transparency. Without action, we are concerned disabled employees may be seen as second-class citizens.
