Labour has passed the Employment Rights Bill through the House of Commons.

The Bill will mean that British workers will now have better working rights, including:

• Day-one working rights
• Stronger sick pay
• Banning Fire and Rehire practices
• Banning exploitative zero-hours contracts

Leigh and Atherton MP – Jo Platt – said: “As a proud trade union member, this has been a long time coming, with the Bill being the biggest upgrade to rights at work in a generation.”

Reform voted with the Tories against this Bill. The party claims to stand for working people, but their actions in Parliament suggest otherwise.
