CBI & business lobbyists said the minimum wage would crash the economy. It didn’t. Now they say the #EmploymentRightsBill costs too much. What’s really costing workers? 📉 Low pay 🔓 Insecure work 🤐 No voice at work Raise standards, not excuses. ✊ www.thetimes.com/article/987f...

Today’s rise in the National Living Wage and the National Minimum Wage is a huge win for working people. Millions of workers are set to receive a boost in pay worth up to £1,400 a year. This is Labour’s #NewDeal for Working People in action.🌹

Amazon did everything they could to stop their workers winning their union. Labour's new Employment Rights Bill gives workers new powers to stop bad bosses like Amazon blocking a union. Watch this brilliant speech from @antoniabance.bsky.social which sets out how 👇

Labour promised a New Deal for Working people, to deliver the greatest uplift in workers’ rights for a generation. Last night, as the Employment Rights Bill passed the Commons, we took another giant step towards making that a reality.

Tonight, the Employment Rights Bill passed the Commons. Stronger rights and protections, and stronger unions to win a better deal. This is an uplift in rights & a shift in power to working people. A huge day on the path to delivering the New Deal.

1/ How are the Tories looking to change the Employment Rights Bill today? Let’s take a look 👀👇 1st, they want to let employers sack anyone UNFAIRLY for the first TWO YEARS on the job - this Bill would stop it.

The Employment Rights Bill is good for businesses and workers. Countries with stronger workers’ rights, like those in Europe, see higher growth, better productivity, and improved health outcomes. The UK can’t afford to lag behind. It’s time to catch up. ✊ www.ft.com/content/9443...
