Are you ready for the “banter ban”? Labour is planning to ban banter in pubs, restaurants, bars, entertainment venues and football grounds. Clause 20 of the Employment Rights Bill, currently going through the House of Lords, amends the Equality Act to impose a legal duty on employers to “take all reasonable steps” to prevent their employees being “harassed” by third parties – meaning they could be sued by their workers if they don’t do enough.
