The Law Centre's Employment unit has specialised for twenty years in cases of discrimination at work. This includes race, sex, disability, age, sexual orientation and religious discrimination. The unit also conducts unfair dismissal cases and advises on in-work problems among its traditional client group of low paid, non-unionised retail, hotel and catering workers, with a view to making inroads into maximising employment rights.

The Employment unit provides second tier advice and assistance and takes referrals as appropriate from CABx and other advice agencies on all aspects of employment law but having regard for the stated priorities of work.
