{"product_id":"9780745332567","title":"Struck Out: Why Employment Tribunals Fail Workers and What Can be Done","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvery year, over a hundred thousand workers bring claims to an Employment Tribunal. The settling of disputes between employers and unions has been exchanged by many for individual litigation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Struck Out, barrister David Renton gives a practical and critical guide to the system. In doing so he punctures a number of media myths about the Tribunals. Far from bringing flimsy cases, two-thirds of claimants succeed at the hearing. And rather than paying lottery-size jackpots, average awards are just a few thousand pounds – scant consolation for a loss of employment and often serious psychological suffering. The book includes a critique of the present government’s proposals to reform the Tribunal system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmployment Tribunals are often seen by workers as the last line of defence against unfairness in the workplace. \u003ci\u003eStruck Out \u003c\/i\u003eshows why we can't rely on the current system to deliver fairness and why big changes are needed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pluto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47010431205616,"sku":"9780745332567","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780745332567_p0.jpg?v=1763636345","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780745332567","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
