TUC calls Labour's plans for workers a ‘game changer’ for productivity
Paul Nowak, general secretary of the Trades Union Congress

LABOUR’S plans for workers would be a “game-changer” for productivity and “boost growth” after years of economic decline, according to TUC general secretary Paul Nowak.

Mr Nowak will tell a Confederation of British Industry (CBI) conference today that, coupled with a coherent industrial strategy, Labour’s New Deal for Working People would provide the economic reset that the country needs.

The party has pledged to deliver new rights for working people through an employment Bill in its first 100 days in government.
