WSC submission to the Director of Labour Market Enforcement

This submission responds to the UK Director of Labour Market Enforcement’s call for evidence to inform her Annual Strategy 2025/26. The focus of her enquiry is on the proposed new UK Fair Work Agency and in our response, WSC outlines our core priorities for effective labour market enforcement to prevent exploitation based on our extensive experience of engaging with labour market enforcement bodies during 2024. This evidence was accompanied by documentation from agricultural workers in relation to non-payment of wages on which we are asking for an urgent response.
