Pravda is a Russian broadsheet newspaper the official newspaper of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, when it was one of the most influential papers in the country with a circulation of 11 million. The newspaper began publication on 5 May 1912 in the Russian Empire, but was extant abroad in January 1911, it emerged as a leading newspaper of the Soviet Union after the October Revolution. The newspaper was an organ of the Central Committee of the CPSU between 1912 and 1991. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union Pravda was sold off by Russian President Boris Yeltsin to a Greek business family in 1996, the paper came under the control of their private company Pravda International. In 1996, there was an internal dispute between the owners of Pravda International and some of the Pravda journalists which led to Pravda splitting into different entities; the Communist Party of the Russian Federation acquired the Pravda paper, while some of the original Pravda journalists separated to form Russia's first online paper Pravda.ru, not connected to the Communist Party.

After a legal dispute between the rival parties, the Russian court of arbitration stipulated that both entities would be allowed to continue using the Pravda name. The Pravda paper is today run by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, whereas the online Pravda.ru is owned and has international editions published in Russian, English and Portuguese. Though Pravda began publication on 5 May 1912, the anniversary of Karl Marx's birth, its origins trace back to 1903 when it was founded in Moscow by a wealthy railway engineer, V. A. Kozhevnikov. Pravda had started publishing in the light of the Russian Revolution of 1905. During its earliest days, Pravda had no political orientation. Kozhevnikov started it as a journal of arts and social life. Kozhevnikov was soon able to form up a team of young writers including A. A. Bogdanov, N. A Rozhkov, M. N Pokrovsky, I. I Skvortsov-Stepanov, P. P Rumyantsev and M. G. Lunts, who were active contributors on'social life' section of Pravda, they became the editorial board of the journal and in the near future became the active members of the Bolshevik faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party.

Because of certain quarrels between Kozhevnikov and the editorial board, he had asked them to leave and the Menshevik faction of the RSDLP took over as Editorial Board. But the relationship between them and Kozhevnikov was a bitter one; the Ukrainian political party Spilka, a splinter group of the RSDLP, took over the journal as its organ. Leon Trotsky was invited to edit the paper in 1908 and the paper was moved to Vienna in 1909. By the editorial board of Pravda consisted of hard-line Bolsheviks who sidelined the Spilka leadership soon after it shifted to Vienna. Trotsky had introduced a tabloid format to the newspaper and distanced itself from the intra-party struggles inside the RSDLP. During those days, Pravda gained a large audience among Russian workers. By 1910 the Central Committee of the RSDLP suggested making Pravda its official organ. At the sixth conference of the RSDLP held in Prague in January 1912, the Menshevik faction was expelled from the party; the party under the leadership of Vladimir Lenin decided to make Pravda its official mouthpiece.

The paper was shifted from Vienna to St. Petersburg and the first issue under Lenin's leadership was published on 5 May 1912, it was the first time. The Central Committee of the RSDLP, workers and individuals such as Maxim Gorky provided financial help to the newspaper; the first issue published on 5 had four pages. It had articles on economic issues, workers movement, strikes, had two proletarian poems. M. E. Egorov was the first editor of St. Petersburg Pravda and Member of Duma N. G. Poletaev served as its publisher. Egorov was not a real editor of Pravda but this position was pseudo in nature; as many as 42 editors had followed Egorov within a span of two years, till 1914. The main task of these editors was to go to jail whenever needed and to save the party from a huge fine. On the publishing side, the party had chosen only those individuals as publishers who were sitting members of Duma because they had parliamentary immunity, it had sold between 40,000 and 60,000 copies. The paper was closed down by tsarist censorship in July 1914.

Over the next two years, it changed its name eight times because of police harassment: Рабочая правда Северная правда За правду Пролетарская правда Путь правды Рабочий Трудовая правда The overthrow of Tsar Nicholas II by the February Revolution of 1917 allowed Pravda to reopen. The original editors of the newly reincarnated Pravda, Vyacheslav Molotov and Alexander Shlyapnikov, were opposed to the liberal Russian Provisional Government. However, when Lev Kamenev, Joseph Stalin and former Duma deputy Matvei Muranov returned from Siberian exile on 12 March, they took over the editorial board – starting with 15 March. Under Kamenev's and Stalin's influence, Pravda took a conciliatory tone towards the Provisional Government—"insofar as it struggles against reaction or counter-revolution"—and called for a unification conference with the internationalist wing of the Mensheviks. On 14 March, Kamenev wrote in his first editorial: What purpose would it serve to speed things up, when things were taking place at such a rapid pace?

The Transfer of Undertakings Regulations 2006 known colloquially as TUPE and pronounced FOISTED TU-pee, are the United Kingdom's implementation of the European Union Transfer of Undertakings Directive. It is an important part of UK labour law, protecting employees whose business is being transferred to another business; the 2006 regulations replace the old 1981 regulations. The law has been amended in 2014 and 2018, various provisions within the 2006 Regulations have altered; the regulations' main aims are to ensure that, in connection with the transfer, employment is protected. Employees are not dismissed employees' most important terms and conditions of contracts are not worsened affected employees are informed and consulted through representatives prior to the transferThese obligations of protection are placed on the transferring companies both before and after the transfer; the obligations are relieved if there is an "economic, technical or organisational" reason for the cessation of employment, or alteration to employees terms and conditions.

This does not apply to transfers which go through the sale of a company's shares. When that happens, because the employer remains the same legal entity, all contractual obligations stay the same; the directive and regulations apply to other forms of transfer, through the sale of physical assets and leases. The regulations apply in some cases for work transferred to contractors; this protected contract terms for workers include hours of work, length of service and so on, but pension entitlement is excluded. 1. Citation and extent2. Interpretation3. A relevant transferthis takes on the Spijkers language of whether an entity retains its identity, r.3 the definition of economic entity as an'organised grouping of resources' comes from Suzen too, r.3. It now applies explicitly to a'service provision change', i.e. contracting out services. An example of this case is RCO Support Services, r.3 the regulations make clear that a service, performing a'single specified task' does not fall within TUPE, r.3 the definition of an undertaking, to which the regulations apply as something engaged in economic activities, whether public or private, comes from an EC competition law case called Höfner and Elser v Macrotron GmbH ECR I-1979 r.3 a new exception is that an'administrative reorganisation of public administrative authorities' will fall outside TUPE's scope is still unknown in its effect, r.34.

Effect of relevant transfer on contracts of employmentthe core of this law, r.4 provides that employment contracts'shall have effect after the transfer as if made between the person so employed and the transferee'. So new business buyers cannot escape the old business' obligations to its workforce it points out that to fall within the protection of TUPE, you had to have had an employment contract "immediately before the transfer", r.4. This was the issue in Litster v Forth Dry Dock ICR 341, where a relaxed and purposive interpretation was given. So, "immediately" can mean a while, with wiggle room. In r.4 it says that variations of employment terms'shall be void' if the main reason is the transfer itself or'a reason connected with the transfer, not an economic, technical or organisational reason entailing changes in the workforce.' In r.4 it is emphasised that employees and employers can agree to change terms where this is not the case. The normal rule is that consensual agreements are void.

Where an employee objects to the change in the identity of the employer r.4 states he will not transfer to the new employer. He is to be treated as if his contract terminated when the transfer takes place, but that he is not dismissed, r.4. This issue came up in Wilson v St Helens Borough Council 2 AC 52. In the Humphreys case it was decided that an employee who resigns on or before a TUPE transfer because of well-founded fears that the new owner intends to impose worse terms and conditions of employment than those provided by the original owner can claim constructive wrongful dismissal against the original owner; the Tapere case ruled on the interpretation of mobility clauses, where a relevant transfer involves a substantial change in working conditions, to the employee's material detriment, held that "detriment" should be considered using the subjective approach which applies in discrimination law.5. Effect of relevant transfer on collective agreements6. Effect of relevant transfer on trade union recognition7.

Dismissal of employee because of relevant transferstates that employees will be considered dismissed unfairly, if they are dismissed without the employer showing an economic, technical or organisational reason for dismissal. What is not included in this concept is dismissals to improve the price of the company before its sale. Where there is an economic, technical or organisational reason for dismissals, these are considered'substantial reasons' under the fair dismissal provisions of the Employment Rights Act 1996; the result for the employee is that he is considered redundant, thereby should receive a compensation payment if they have been an employee for more than two years under s.135 ERA 1996. Importantly, an employee dismisse
