Impact of UK EU Withdrawal on Cross-border Working

Conference notes that cross-border working is very common at present, e.g. people living on one side of the border and working on the other, freelancers and self-employed people who work in both jurisdictions, and people working for all-island companies who regularly travel across the border at the request of their employer. The employment and economic benefi ts of such arrangements are also noted. Conference is concerned at the likely impact on these people of the UK's forthcoming withdrawal from the European Union, and also at the wider economic impact of a hard border. Conference instructs the Executive Council to campaign and lobby  in this area, and to support af liates in dealing with these issues on behalf of their members.
