A new mega poll from the Trades Union Congress (TUC) reveals that the British public is strongly backing key policies in the Employment Rights Bill that is currently progressing through Parliament.
In Leigh and Atherton, the poll shows 71% of people support the right to sick pay from day one, while 70% are behind the ban on zero-hour contracts.
The Employment Rights Bill is a game-changer. Labour is delivering on its promises and giving people the job security they’ve been asking for, for decades.
Jo Platt says: “It is shameful that despite the overwhelming public support for the Employment Rights Bill, the Tories and Reform continue to block the Bill at every stage – showing once again how out of touch they are with working people.”
