Pubs could be forced to ban customers from discussing controversial topics like religion and transgender rights due to Labour's proposed workers' rights reforms, experts have warned.The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has cautioned that new rules protecting workers from harassment by customers could "disproportionately curtail" freedom of expression. The watchdog raised particular concerns about how the regulations might apply to "overheard conversations" in venues like pubs, where business owners would be responsible for policing discussions of contentious beliefs.Under the proposed reforms, employers could face legal action if they fail to protect staff from harassment by "third parties" such as customers.
