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.
