Landmark Legislation Introduced to Strengthen Workers' Rights Across the UK The UK Government has just unveiled the Employment Rights Bill, designed to create a pro-worker, pro-business environment. This transformative legislation, introduced within 100 days of the new government, aims to end exploitative practices like zero-hour contracts and fire-and-rehire while introducing various day-one rights. This move is part of the government’s broader strategy to boost pay, productivity, and secure a future-ready workforce. The bill also strengthens SSP and makes flexible working the default, where practical. These reforms offer flexibility and security for workers and employers alike—creating a fairer, modern labour market that helps the economy grow. #EmploymentRights #WorkersRights #UKLegislation #Flexibility #EconomicGrowth

Labour is stepping up to fulfil their major election pledge by introducing new legislation on workers’ rights within 100 days! 🏛️ However, the path to these rights will be longer for some, with certain changes taking up to 1,000 days to take effect. Keir Starmer's Labour promises to be both pro-worker and pro-business, aiming for the biggest uplift in workers’ rights in a generation. Despite the ambitious goals, many details are still under discussion, and the full impact won’t be felt until later. 🔹The 157-page Employment Bill is a start, but much consultation and debate remain. 🔹New rights to challenge unfair dismissal won’t be in effect until autumn 2026. 🔹Labour’s promise to abolish Conservative legislation on strike ballots and service levels is a key highlight. Stay tuned as we monitor how these changes will shape the future of work in the UK. The fight for fairer workplace rights continues! 💪 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/ex5vYx53 #Labour #WorkersRights #EmploymentBill #KeirStarmer
