May of next year brings an election. Elections bring manifestos. Manifestos bring pledges. Some of them relate to what (over)-excites us here at Hard Labour: UK Employment Law. In the run up to the election we will be maintaining a page dedicated to Employment Law-related pledges. You can find it here or by clicking the link at the top of the page.

As always we welcome your input in keeping it as comprehensive and up to date as possible. To be included information must meet three criteria:

• It must be an explicit pledge (e.g. we know Labour does not want to repeal the Human Rights Act 1998, but the table stays blank until there is a specific commitment on the issue);
• The pledge must be officially made by or on behalf of the party; and
• It must be available on the internet so that our readers can check it for themselves.
