They don't.

Lydia is one of many migrant workers from the Southwest leading @unisontheunion campaign for a fair visa system &a reversal of the government’s plans to change rules on Indefinite Leave to Remain. Proud to stand alongside her. There are no public services without migrant workers

EXCLUSIVE: 'This country needed us - why is it changing migration rules to penalise us now?' Care workers trapped by government rule changes speak out.

The current sponsorship system isn't fit for purpose and is open to abuse by exploitative employers.

On 7 May, voters across England will decide who runs vital local services.

Local elections shape your day-to-day life, from roads and potholes to adult social care.

Proud to join @GlosUniUnison members on strike over @uniofglos insulting 1.4% pay award. Heard some harrowing testimonies of the impact of poverty. They deserve so much more. We can’t have a thriving higher education sector while paying vital workers so badly

Just some of the new rights at work heading your way today thanks to a Labour Government, the Labour-union link and the New Deal for Working People:

😷 Statutory Sick Pay from your first day off sick, ending the three day wait without pay.
💪 New, simpler union recognition rights. Making it easier for workers to get unionised.  
🧑‍🍼 Paternity leave and unpaid parental leave from your first day on the job.
📢 New protections for whistleblowers. 

Now let's finish the job and deliver the New Deal in full 🌹✊
