This is the difference with Labour.
✅ A ban on exploitative zero hours contracts
✅ Sick pay from day one
✅ A ban on fire and rehire
✅ Stronger family leave
BREAKING: Labour's landmark Employment Rights Bill has PASSED both Houses of Parliament.
The new rights in this Bill will be transformational, putting power back into the hands of working people.
This is a massive step forward in delivering Labour's New Deal for Working People - passed by a Labour Government, delivered with the labour movement.

Labour Party and TULO mark ‘a new era for working people’ in first meeting between affiliated unions and Labour leadership after historic general election win.
Together we have reiterated our full commitment to Labour’s New Deal for Working People.
Our thanks to everyone who packed the streets of Durham in your tens of thousands despite the weather for the 138th #DurhamMinersGala.
Our deep appreciation to everyone who contributes - it's a remarkable team effort that keeps the Gala gannin' 40 years after the Miners Strike.
Our medical aid appeal, which closed two weeks ago, raised over £15,000. Now we have launched a new appeal collecting funds and equipment for workers in Donetsk, eastern Ukraine, doing rescue and firefighting work.

Brilliant piece by Shadow Business Sec @jreynoldsMP on the importance of Labour’s New Deal for Working People.
"Today, after fourteen tough years of Conservative rule, Britain once again needs bold action to give power back to working people."

.@WASPI_Campaign Government's response to the WASPI Report is shameful. They've dragged their heels for over a decade on fair compensation. The latest findings leave no choice but to act swiftly. No more delays, these women deserve justice now. #WASPI 🐝 ⚖️

We're now at just over £13,900 for our medical workers appeal, which closes Sunday. Help us get to £14,000 today!

Shocking indictment of this government’s failure to deliver on another general election promise to review MPS surplus distribution. A debt of honour is owed by the nation to miners and their widows many of whom are now in their 80’s who mined the coal that made Britain Great.⚖️
It was a privilege to take the Blackhall DMA banner to Durham this afternoon for the Women Against Pit Closures rally.
40 years after the 84-85 Miners’ Strike it’s fantastic to see the women of our pit communities continuing the struggle.
As they sang today, Solidarity Forever!
