The Tories and Reform last night voted against plans to boost working conditions, including extending sick pay to 1.3 million of the lowest earners.
Labour’s Employment Rights Bill will update outdated employment laws and turn the page on an economy blighted by insecurity, poor productivity and low pay by:
Ending exploitative zero hours contracts and fire and rehire practices
Establishing day one rights for paternity, parental and bereavement leave for millions of workers
Strengthening statutory sick pay.
We’re raising the floor on workplace rights to deliver a stronger, fairer and brighter future for the world of work in the UK. Yesterday brought real change for workers another step closer.
