Employment Rights Bill will make game-changing improvements to working life

“At last the lives of millions of employees across the UK look set to change for the better. The bill lays the groundwork for a brighter future for everyone at work."

UNISON general secretary @cmcanea on today's publication of the Labour government's #EmploymentRightsBill

“There’ll be improved protection from the first day in a job and more family-friendly roles. Bad bosses won’t be able to exploit at whim using dodgy ‘fire and rehire’ tactics, and it’ll be easier for unions to offer support to all employees.

“The means to create a fair pay agreement to increase wages for care workers in England is game-changing. It’s an historic first step towards transforming a sector that’s been neglected and ignored for far too long. The result will make a world of difference to people who need care and to their families too.

“The two-tier workforce will be no more, with penny-pinching employers no longer able to treat outsourced workers less favourably than everyone else.

“A new body to negotiate pay for school support staff will bring a much-needed boost for the low-paid, mostly female workforce and attract recruits into currently hard-to-fill roles.

“The bill marks a sea-change in industrial relations after years of worsening workers’ rights and unnecessary hostility towards unions. It’ll stop employees being penalised for going on strike* and bring union ballots into the digital age.

“All this can only help the economy thrive and improve services to the public. Good employers have absolutely nothing to fear, but the bad ones won’t like it one bit.

“This is a complex programme of legislation, and the details will need to be fine-tuned. There’s still much work to do. But the government has stuck to its pledge to overhaul working life, a huge achievement in less than 100 days.”

Disabled people and workers can respond to the ticket office closure consultation debated today #SaveTicketOffices

[UNISON Disability @UNISONdm]

UNISON delegate Graeme Ellis was among speakers from many unions supporting an Emergency Motion to ask all trade unionists to respond to the government consultation on the appalling proposal to close thousands of rail ticket offices at #TUCDisabledWorkers #SaveTicketOffices

[UNISONBCP @BCPUNISON]

Good to start the morning session with a speech by the TUC General Secretary.

[Paul Nowak @nowak_paul]

7 in 10 (69%) disabled employees earn less than £15 an hour.

That’s why we need disability pay reporting & action plans and a £15 per hour minimum wage.

Great to be at #TUCDisabledWorkers to talk about how we can build a movement to win change!

[UNISONBCP @BCPUNISON]

Interesting discussion, important work.

BREAKING 🚨 | 7 in 10 disabled workers earn less than £15 an hour.

Disabled workers are much more likely to be low paid than non-disabled people, our analysis reveals.
