An historic day. New rights for millions of workers, and testament to years of union campaigning. More to do working with the government to make sure the secondary legislation is watertight, and to deliver the rest of the Make Work Pay agenda but for now… 👏👏✊🏼✊🏼
🚨BREAKING: Employment Rights Bill passes in the House of Lords and will become law. This is an historic day for working people across the country, and the trade unions who represent them. Some of the watershed measures this Bill delivers: ➡️ Banning exploitative zero hours

We’re delivering pension justice for 40,000 ex-mineworkers and their families. The first payments are landing today. That’s the difference this government is making.

The council must get back and resolve this dispute - they should stop disgracing itself and get back to talks to find a fair resolution for the bin workers. That is the only way strikes will end. https://t.co/uBCQTKPfIM

Union reps: Resolve disputes at work, not in ET’s Keep workplaces safe Help workers’ access skills & training Give people voice at work Make workplaces more productive & more rewarding & more My prediction for 26? More groundless scare stories about decent rights @ work 🙄

Brilliant from Everton. Poverty chants are gross and shit and boring and fans of every club that sing them should do better
Arsenal fans sing “feed the Scousers” and Everton put Fans Supporting Foodbanks’ logo on the screen straight away. Quality from Everton. Absolutely embarrassing from the Arsenal fans singing it. Solidarity with @SFoodbanks. Hunger doesn’t wear club colours 💙❤️

The Employment Rights Bill is back in the Commons again tonight for its next round of ping pong. Our MPs will send it back to the Lords to tell them to pass the Bill. This has gone on long enough. It’s time to get the Bill passed - no delays, no games, no blocking the

This is no longer about only workers' rights - it's also about our democracy. Labour campaigned on the New Deal, the public voted for it - now unelected Lords are blocking it. Enough is enough, no more political games - the House of Lords need to get out of the way and pass the

🚨BREAKING: Tory Lords block landmark Employment Rights Bill from passing. Enough is enough. Continuing to vote down this Bill is undemocratic. This Bill has been debated and scrutinised for months. Tory Peers are actively defying the will of the British public and their own

By voting down the Employment Rights Bill,Tory Peers are thwarting the democratic process & disregarding the British public who supported Labour’s manifesto pledge to make work pay. The government can’t be held ransom by unelected Tory peers who don’t care about workers’ rights.

What will improve rights at work for millions of workers AND give a £10bn boost to the 🇬🇧 economy? The Employment Rights Bill. It’s time for both Houses of Parliament to deliver the rights people voted for last summer.

Great way to start the week, supporting @unitetheunion members at Diligenta taking strike action for fair pay. A company that can hand out millions in dividends to shareholders should be prepared to sit down and reach a fair agreement with the staff who make those profits!
