At the general election, I prioritised good jobs for the people of Oldham West, Chadderton and Royton, and Labour promised to introduce workers’ rights reform nationally – and we are delivering.
Banning exploitative zero-hour contracts
Ending fire and rehire
Delivering a genuine living wage
Strengthening statutory sick pay
Working people’s longing for change over the last 14 years of Tory government has now ended. Our Employment Rights Bill – published yesterday in Parliament – means, within 100 days of entering government, Labour is legislating for the biggest upgrade in a generation to rights at work.
By achieving this, we will drive up employment standards, provide the security and respect working people deserve, and create the level playing field businesses need to invest and boost growth.
For all workers, Labour will make work pay.
Jim McMahon OBE MP
