 <h2>A lecture by Richard Wilkinson\, author of The Spirit Level </h2>
 <p>In 1990 Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett published a timely book called The Spirit Level. The conclusion of the book\, based on years of rigorous research data\, was that inequality is bad\: it’s bad for your health\, bad for the economy\, bad for society and bad for the environment. </p>
 <p>Their groundbreaking book provides hard evidence to show\: </p>
 <p></p>
 <p>How almost everything – including mental and physical health\, crime and drug use\, educational per-formance\, prison numbers\, obesity\, teenage pregnancy and child well being – is affected not by how wealthy a society is but how equal it is.</p>
 <p></p>
 <p>That inequality in society leads to increases in debt and economic instability. The financial crashes of 1929 and 2008 happened at the two peaks of inequality\, with about 1.5 trillion dollars a year being si-phoned from the bottom 90% of the US population to the top 10% in the run up to the 2008 crash.</p>
 <p></p>
 <p>That the most important factors in narrowing inequality is trade union membership and collective bar-gaining</p>
 <p>In 2010 The Spirit Level was re-printed with a new chapter rebutting the criticisms made of the book by right wing bodies such as The Tax Payers’ Alliance\, The Democracy Institute and the Policy Exchange. In today’s eco-nomic climate\, it is essential trade union members have the facts\, the graphs and the arguments available to show that cuts are not the answer. Economic stability\, social wellbeing and environmental survival depend on equality&#8230\;&#8230\;&#8230\;..and trade unions.</p>

 <h2>about the conference</h2>
 <p>The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations\, known as the <span class=\\"caps\\">TUPE</span> Regulations\, govern how workers are treated following the transfer of a business or a change in service provision.  The original aim of the Regulations was to strengthen the rights of workers involved in transfers\, providing them with continuity of employment and the same terms and conditions. But\, 30 years after their introduction\, the <span class=\\"caps\\">TUPE</span> Regulations remain one of the more complex and difficult areas of employment law.</p>
