UNIONS are urging MPs of all parties to support new legislation aimed at the biggest overhaul of workers’ rights in a generation.
Ahead of the second reading of the Employment Rights Bill in Parliament today, the TUC said millions of workers would benefit from measures including sick pay from the first day of illness rather than having to wait until the fourth day.
TUC general secretary Paul Nowak called on MPs to be “on the right side of history.”
