Pubs bosses could ban customers from talking about controversial topics such as transgender rights if they think their staff are being harassed, under Labour’s new workers’ rights charter.
Under the proposed legislation, employers must prevent workers from being harassed by third parties, such as customers. If they fail to do so, they could be sued.The Equality and Human Rights Commission has warned that the proposed law, due to come into force next year, could 'curtail' freedom of expression and be applied to 'overheard conversations'.
This would be compounded if the topic of conversation was about a protected characteristic, which have been ruled to include religious beliefs, views on women’s and transgender rights, both those known as gender critical and a belief in gender identity, political philosophies and ethical veganism.The EHRC’s view on the bill is that many of the proposed reforms have “the potential to reduce workplace inequalities” - and supported measures aimed at addressing sexual harassment.
