The Use of the Law on Unfair Dismissal

Abstract

This paper describes the use made by employees of the law against “unfair” dismissal. It describes what happens to the annually growing volume of complaints made by dismissed employees, and analyses the remedies which have been available to them. Finally, the paper documents an aspect of the law of great sociological significance: its heavy use by low‐paid employees.
