‘Good Jobs’ podcast: What will industrial relations reforms really mean for NI employers?

In this episode, Paul Gillen is joined by David Hopper – both of them partners in the employment team here at Lewis Silkin – to talk about Theme C of Northern Ireland’s proposed “Good Jobs” Employment Rights Bill.

From union access and lower recognition thresholds to e-ballots, while the seven-day industrial action notice stays put – this episode explores what’s likely to change now, what’s for later and practical takeaways on regulations and timelines in early 2026.
