| Abstract: | Limited research has been carried out to investigate how terms and conditions of employment and other work-related experience may have changed for the workers as a result of transfers of undertakings. Altough relevant legislation, that is TUPE (Transfer of Undertakings Protection of Employment) Regulations, is in place with the objective of protecting these workers'employment rights, the effectiveness of the regulations has proved less than convincing. The intention of this paper is to explore, through an in-depth case-study approach, the wider issues concerning employment relations and experience of work in the context of transfers of undertakings. This paper argues that TUPE provides only limited protection for the rights of the transferred workers with the transferee. |
