4/ It’s totally clear, the Conservatives are on the side of bad bosses, at the expense of working people.
Only by delivering Labour’s New Deal for Working People can we raise wages, improve working conditions and deliver the security that the working people deserve.

3/ 4th, they’ve brought forward a self confessed “wrecking amendment,” to stop those on zero hours being offered a guaranteed hours contract, statutory sick pay applying from day one, new rights on parental leave - and much more.

2/ 2nd, the Tories want to stop school support staff from coming together to collectively bargain for better pay and conditions.

6/ Labour’s New Deal for Working People is a partnership with affiliated unions, who bring the voices of millions of working people to the heart of the Party.
This Bill is the crucial 1st step towards the biggest workers’ rights uplift in a generation.

5/ Naysayers said a minimum wage would wreck the economy. They were wrong then. Now they say stronger rights at work will hold back growth. They’re wrong now. The New Deal for Working People, starting with this bill, can grow the economy & put more money working people's pockets.

4/ The work’s not finished.
We need to get the details right to ensure the Bill does what it is intended and empowers working people, raising pay and improving the world of work. #EmploymentRightsBill
