Labour’s New Deal for Working People is the biggest upgrade in employment rights in a generation. We’re proud that affiliated unions drew it up in partnership with Labour and that Labour’s Manifesto promised to deliver it in full.
Now the Government have to implement the new rights fully, closing loopholes that bad employers will exploit. From ending fire and rehire and the right to a guaranteed hours contract for all workers to equal pay, health and safety, surveillance, AI and automation tech at work and more – we made promises to working people, and those promises must be kept. Andy Burnham’s commitment to rewiring our country so it works for everyone must mean power in every postcode – and that means power in every workplace too.
With Andy Burnham as Prime Minister, offering new hope to working people, Labour have a fresh opportunity to deliver the change working people are crying out for. He’s promised that unions will be true partners in his government. That promise matters because that’s the only way to deliver change.
The Labour Party was founded by trade unions over a hundred years ago, because unions believe that working people deserve a Party that truly speaks for and represents working people. We’ll make sure unions get a real seat at the table – because the scale of change needed can only be delivered in partnership with unions.
