Labour Unions answers the Question: "What has a Labour Government ever done for us?"

 

Our rights weren’t handed down - they were fought for. And they’re only secured when we organise

Statutory Sick Pay from day one. Repeal of the Trade Union Act. Paternity & parental leave from day one. Removing picketing restrictions. Bereavement leave for fathers & partners. New protections for whistle-blowers. Stronger action on fire and rehire. A new Fair Work Agency to enforce your rights. Simpler union recognition rights. Making it easier for workers to get unionised.

Longer strike ballot mandates. Simpler industrial action rules. Protection from dismissal for striking workers. Restoring opt-in union political funds. Simplifying industrial action and industrial action ballot notices. Ending the 10-year ballot rule for union political funds.

This is why the Labour-union link is so important. The #NewDeal for Working people is a partnership between trade unions and the Labour Party. Passing the Employment Rights Act was only the beginning. We need to ensure that new rights are delivered in practice and properly enforced. We’ll keep pushing the government until the #NewDeal for Working People has been delivered in full
