UNIONS have urged Labour to ignore the “naysayers” and “double down” on reforms to improve working rights.
The 11-affiliated Labour unions, including Unite, GMB and Unison, have issued a joint appeal to the party to make good on their promises outlined in the Employment Rights Bill.
It comes as Labour faces growing pressures from businesses to water down changes promised to workers’ rights outlined in the legislation.
