UK unions welcome moves to bolster workers’ rights bill

Unions delighted there has been no watering down of plans, which will apply to England, Scotland and Wales

The Guardian

"TUC asked Clacton residents who they thought had opposed the employment rights bill. ... When told that it was in fact their MP, Nigel Farage, they reacted with genuine shock. “Nigel? No!” replied one woman. “I am really surprised. Because I thought he was working for the public.”

Labour should take this as proof that failing to talk about workers’ rights is not only morally weak, but a strategic miscalculation."

Even Reform voters think the workers’ rights bill is good news. So why isn’t Labour shouting about it?

Why would the government water down and downplay such a popular policy? Because the business lobby doesn’t like it, says Polly Smythe, labour movement correspondent at Novara Media

Union says Labour’s workers’ bill has ‘more holes than Swiss cheese’

Unite has responded most critically to the legislation, accusing the government of tying itself “up in knots trying to avoid what was promised”

The Independent

"Driving up employment standards is good for workers, good for business and good for growth. It will give workers more predictability and control and it will stop good employers from being undercut by the bad.

“While there is still detail to be worked through, this bill signals a seismic shift away from the Tories’ low pay, low rights, low productivity economy."

Paul Nowak,
TUC.
