With the Bank of England forecasting a recession, workers being hit by the biggest fall in real terms pay on record and the UK’s tight labour market beginning to show signs of softening, the Work Foundation will be hosting a series of Work Matters 2022 discussions with leaders from across the political spectrum to discuss the key issues facing workers, employers, communities and the labour market.

The Work Foundation has invited senior leaders from each of the three largest political parties in the UK, to take part in exclusive interviews with our Director, Ben Harrison.

We are pleased to announce the first two online interviews:

Ian Blackford MP (Westminster Leader, Scottish National Party)

15.00 – 15.45, Wednesday 23 November 2022

Jonathan Ashworth MP (Shadow Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, Labour Party)

14.00 – 14.45, Tuesday 29 November 2022

We have invited the Government’s new Secretary of State for Work and Pensions to take part in the series, and are awaiting a response.
