	"description": "The last time Tribunal Fees were implemented, in 2013, they caused a two-thirds fall in in employment tribunal claims. That wasn&#x27;t because employers were behaving better; it meant that two thirds of people exploited at work couldn&#x27;t afford to access justice. It was a huge victory for everyone when the UK Supreme Court ruled them illegal in 2017. Now, however, the government is proposing to bring them back. A new consultation has been launched, with opinions sought only on the scale of the charges; that there will be tribunal fees has already been decided and, according to the government&#x27;s own documents, they predict that claims will drop by a fifth. It is already incredibly difficult for workers to bring their employer to a tribunal over discrimination, unpaid wages, or unfair dismissal. Many of those who most need protection from exploitation at work, such as outsourced or migrant workers, face huge barriers to accessing the tribunal system as it is, and adding fees will make it all but impossible - especially when millions are already unable to afford essentials. We cannot allow justice to be luxury for those who can afford it. We&#x27;re calling on the government to immediately scrap the proposed introduction of employment tribunal fees.
