This Government have a mandate to deliver a New Deal for Workers and a better deal at work, and unelected peers need to stop blocking it - now. ✊🌹

Last year Labour were elected with a mandate for CHANGE – and their commitment to strengthening employment rights with the New Deal for Working People was spelled out in the Manifesto.

It’s time for unelected Tory and Lib Dem Lords to get out of the way, and stop blocking key manifesto commitments.

And it wouldn’t be the Tories without an attack on the right to strike – undermining Labour’s Manifesto commitment to repeal the 2016 Act by retaining the 50% turnout threshold

No other organisations are have turnout thresholds, and you don’t improve industrial relations by undermining union rights

There’s also a Crossbench amendment, backed by the Tories last time, to unpick the 2016 commitment on Political Funds: proposing that the Tories’ ‘opt-in’ is retained – undermining unions’ right to campaign politically, and giving unions different and more draconian rules than other organisations.

It’s not just the individual workers’ rights that the Lords have set their sights on – they’ve also been busy undermining Labour’s Manifesto commitment to repeal the 2016 Trade Union Act.

Tory peers have been very creative and have designed a new Super Loophole to undermine any of the rights in Part 1 of the Bill, by creating a new kind of work called ‘seasonal work’

This undermines the right to a Guaranteed Hours Contract, protection from unfair dismissal and Fire and Rehire & more
