Tony Benn: he encouraged us

@The_TUC But what about the concession on unfair dismissal? Please don’t say that was all for nothing?

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

NEW 🚨 | The Government will reduce the qualifying period for full protection from unfair dismissal from two years to six months.

There’ll also be no statutory probation period.

The Employment Rights Bill is essential to better quality, more secure jobs for millions of workers.

The absolute priority now is to get these rights – like day one sick pay - on the statute book so that working people can start benefitting from them from next April.

Following the government’s announcement, it’s now vital that Peers respect Labour’s manifesto mandate and that this Bill secures Royal Assent as quickly as possible.

“I think #Tolpuddle is one of the great events in the labour movement. It reminds us of the roots of our own faith, people who are prepared to sacrifice everything to build trade unions, which are fundamental to our survival today.” - Tony Benn. Details : https://t.co/PG5DT1jxqB

Ask the powerful five questions:

•What power have you got?
•Where did you get it from?
•In whose interests do you exercise it?
•To whom are you accountable?
•How can we get rid of you?
