In April the First Minister announced his intention to take steps to establish a Fair Work Commission; a small independent panel of experts to take forward the initial work of the Fair Work Board which was to scope the available evidence and key practices impacting on Fair Work.


As chair of the Fair Work Board I am very grateful to the Board, whose members were drawn from the tripartite Social Partner Strategy Group: the Wales TUC, the CBI and the FSB and included Cerys Furlong, Chief Executive of Chwarae Teg for their initial contributions.


The Fair Work Board provided me with a forum for early dialogue on the development of Fair Work. It made good initial progress in identifying the evidence gaps and the levers currently available to Welsh Government to promote and drive Fair Work across Wales and was a source of good advice in helping to test our initial thinking.


As the Minister responsible for Fair Work I am very pleased to announce that the Fair Work Commission, a Welsh Government Ministerial body, will be chaired by **Professor Linda Dickens MBE**, Emeritus Professor of Industrial Relations at the University of Warwick.


A senior academic with an excellent national and international reputation in the field of employment relations, Linda has a demonstrable track record in the practical application of her knowledge and expertise across the public and private sectors, including through a number of public appointments.


An experienced labour disputes arbitrator, mediator and inquiry chair, Linda was until recently a Deputy Chair of the Central Arbitration Committee and served on the Council of ACAS. Her current appointments include non\-Executive Board Member of the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority.

At the TUC Sarah was responsible for the organisation’s work on equality and trade union and employment rights. Until January 2017 she was a Board member at the Equality and Human Rights Commission.
