UNION leaders are set for a showdown meeting with Sir Keir Starmer over fears that the party is walking back commitments to improve workers’ rights.
They will meet the Labour leader next week as speculation mounts that key parts of the agreed New Deal for Working People may be diluted or dropped.
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said today a new Labour draft shared with unions was “unrecognisable” and turned “a real new deal for workers into a charter for bad bosses. Labour don’t want a law against fire and rehire and they are effectively ripping up the promise of legislation on a new deal for workers in its first 100 days.
