LABOUR will set up a brand new employment rights ministry alongside a new workers’ protection agency to bang up bad bosses, Jeremy Corbyn pledged at TUC Congress today.

The Labour leader said the new agency would have “real teeth,” including powers “to enter workplaces and bring prosecutions on workers’ behalf.”

He told delegates in Brighton: “If you’re a worker with a boss who makes you work extra hours for no pay or forces you into dangerous situations, you deserve a government that’s on your side and ready to step in to support you.”
