THE Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill will scrap over 2,400 pieces of EU legislation currently transposed into UK laws as part of the government’s “Brexit dividend.”
The Bill will, if implemented, wipe out hard-won employment rights that are incorporated into many union agreements and workers’ contracts.
The TUC says the Bill “will cause enormous confusion and chaos for working people and their employers at a particularly difficult time for the economy, and poses a significant threat to workers’ rights. The Bill, if enacted, will sweep away thousands of pieces of legislation and upend decades-worth of case law.”
