Employment Rights Act impact on transport & logistics businesses

Transport and logistics employers should be preparing now for some of the most significant employment law changes in a generation.

The Employment Rights Act 2025 (ERA) will have a particular impact on businesses operating large, flexible and dispersed workforces — including drivers, warehouse staff, depot teams and customer-facing employees. For many transport and logistics businesses, the key risks will arise from enhanced trade union rights, restrictions on fire and rehire, new protections for casual and zero-hours workers, and increased liability for third-party harassment.
