Our landmark Employment Rights Bill – which represents the biggest upgrade to workers’ rights in a generation – takes another step forward

There has been a lot going on ahead of the Recess for party conferences, but I didn’t want to let this go without notice!

After a series of 12 votes we are now closer to delivering the biggest upgrade to rights at work in a generation. Labour’s landmark Employment Rights Bill, which has passed through both the House of Commons and House of Lords is now in its final stages in the legislative process.

At the general election, we prioritised good jobs for the people of Oldham West, Chadderton and Royton, and nationally we put forward the New Deal for Working People – and this delivers on those promises:

Banning exploitative zero-hour contracts

Ending fire and rehire

Day one rights

Delivering a genuine living wage

Extending statutory sick pay to 1.3 million of the lowest earners

While we are acting to drive up employment standards, provide the security & respect working people deserve, and create the level playing field businesses need to invest & boost growth; the Tories & Reform voted against improving working conditions.

This is real change for working people across our country and by keeping this promise, we are showing that politics really can make a difference.

For all workers, Labour is making work pay.
