20th Anniversary Report Testimonies

What they said:

Our Anniversary Report included comments kindly submitted by a wide range of our supporters – academics, lawyers, trade unionists and others.

We received so many supportive statements that we had to shorten the contributions to include them all in the Report. Below we reproduce those kind messages in full.

Brendan Barber, TUC
Over the last 20 years the IER has made a valued contribution to debates on the future of labour law in the UK and beyond. The Institute has been an important resource and friend to the trade union movement. Through high quality publications and regular conferences, the Institute assists union officials to keep up to date with the latest opportunities and challenges presented by the law. The TUC looks foward to continuing working with the Institute over the next 20 years.
