THE government must “stop dithering” and deliver on its promises to boost employment rights, the TUC said yesterday as a new poll revealed that Britain’s workers want urgent action.

On the eve of International Workers’ Day, the union confederation published a survey showing that a huge majority of working people want the same basic rights for all — and that most want an end to the scourge of zero-hours contracts.

The poll of more than 2,500 workers, carried out for the TUC by GQR Research, suggests that 84 per cent want to see a raft of basic rights applied to all.
