If your employer is a public authority, they must follow the principles of the Human Rights Act
Read about your human rights at work and what to do if you think they've been breached
The Human Rights Act was introduced in October 2000.
It adds protection for workers' rights and freedoms. Provisions within the Act deal with work-related matters.
If you work in the public sector, it's unlawful for your employer to violate your human rights under the Convention, unless an Act of Parliament means it has no choice.
If your employer isn't a public authority you can't make a claim against your employer for breach of your human rights. However, human rights law has been incorporated into general employment law and applies to all employers.
Any decision by an Employment Tribunal must follow the principles laid out in the Convention.

This post is important because sometimes not all workers have the same rights, then there will be a slave.
