TUC leader Paul Nowak will call for workers to elect a Labour government as he addresses the union federation’s Midlands conference today.
TUC analysis shows that 500,000 workers across the Midlands — one in eight — is “trapped” in insecure work.
With an election likely this year, workers’ rights are “on the ballot paper,” the TUC says.
Labour’s watered-down legislation won’t protect us from unfair dismissal or ban some zero-hours contracts until 2027 — leaving millions of young people vulnerable to the populist right’s appeal, warns TUC young workers chair FRASER MCGUIRE
Labour must not allow unelected members of the upper house to erode a single provision of the Employment Rights Bill, argues ANDY MCDONALD MP
It is only trade union power at work that will materially improve the lot of working people as a class but without sector-wide collective bargaining and a right to take sympathetic strike action, we are hamstrung in the fight to tilt back the balance of power, argues ADRIAN WEIR
