Commenting on the government’s plans to implement the Employment Rights Bill, UNISON head of policy Sampson Low said:
“This bill is a game changer that can’t come soon enough. It’s the most significant piece of employment rights legislation in decades. And it will deliver real, positive change for working people.
“Those seeking to delay or dilute these changes must be resisted. The reforms are popular, long overdue and exactly what staff are calling for.
“This legislation will help all employers become better employers.”
