The Labour Party's Upcoming Employment Rights Bill: What Employers Need to Know.
On 22 September 2024 at the Labour Party Conference, Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, confirmed that next month Labour will table their Employment Rights Bill in parliament. The bill will need to go through the usual parliamentary process before becoming actual law. Specific details of the bill have not been provided but the speech highlighted the following areas of change:
- Increased Worker Protections: The bill aims to strengthen job security and family-friendly policies.
- Stronger Trade Unions: A focus on bolstering union representation and collective bargaining.
- Repeal of Existing Law: The proposed repeal of certain so-called 'anti-worker' laws.
- New Rights for Union Representatives: Additional rights for union reps.
Staying ahead of these developments as they unfold is critical.
