Claims against employers for racial discrimination in the workplace are certainly on the increase if our current workload is anything to go by. Knowledge of equality law is of particular importance when employing workers from EU member states, e.g. Eastern European drivers. There is an alarming trend in the haulage and skip operating industry of the absence of employment contracts, which leave employers open to (often spurious) claims by workers of discrimination in the workplace. It is essential that terms and conditions of employment be laid down at the outset of employment so that each party is aware of its respective obligations.
