Tory and Lib Dem peers accused of 'cynical attacks' on workers' rights - 'get out the way'
The TUC has warned Tory and Lib Dem Peers to 'get out of the way' and 'stop trying to block' stronger employment rights for millions of workers in the House of Lords The TUC has warned Tory and Lib Dem Peers to 'get out of the way' and 'stop trying to block' stronger employment rights for millions of workers. The union body is urging the government to 'stand firm' in the face of what it calls 'cynical attacks' on the Employment Rights Bill. The landmark legislation, which is currently going through the House of Lords, was a key pillar of Labour's election campaign. Spearheaded by Deputy PM Angela Rayner, the workers' rights package will end exploitative zero hours contracts, ban bad bosses from using agency staff to replace sacked employees and give expectant parents bereavement leave if they lose a pregnancy before 24 weeks. READ MORE: New workers rights law - all changes from sick pay to parental leave and how they affect you But the TUC has warned that the Tories and Lib Dems are 'doing the bidding of bad bosses' by trying to water down the legislation in the Lords. It hit out at opposition peers voting to 'attack' teaching assistants' pay and exempt voluntary work on heritage railways from restrictions on employment of children. The Bill will return to the House of Commons in September for MPs to consider the House of Lords' proposed changes to the legislation. The two Houses will continue to vote on amendments in a process known as 'ping-pong' until a way forward is agreed. A recent TUC mega poll revealed huge support across the country – including among Conservative voters – for key policies in the Bill. More than seven in 10 (72%) of UK voters support a ban on zero hours contracts – including 63% of Tory voters, the survey found. And three quarters (73%) of voters support giving all workers protection from unfair dismissal from the first day in the job - including 62% of Conservative. The TUC said peers who are trying to water down the legislation are not just 'out of touch" but are "actively defying" voters across the country. TUC General Secretary Paul Nowak said: "It's time for Tory and Lib Dem Peers to get out of the way and stop trying to block stronger rights for millions of workers. They are doing the bidding of bad bosses by voting to keep workers on zero hours contracts, allowing bosses to sack workers unfairly and attacking teaching assistants' pay.' He added: "Banning zero-hours contracts and protecting workers from unfair dismissal are common-sense protections that the vast majority of the people, including Tory and Lib Dem voters, want to see become law. "These Peers are not just out of touch, they are actively defying their own voters – and the public at large. The government must stand firm in the face of cynical attacks and deliver the Employment Rights Bill in full.' A Liberal Democrat spokesman said: ' Liberal Democrats have always championed stronger rights at work, and it's disappointing that Labour chose to block (/vote against) our proposals to support carers and whistleblowers. 'Unfortunately we fear parts of Labour's rushed bill would be bad for workers in small businesses and family farms. 'They were badly let down by the Conservative Party, and Labour seems to have a blindspot when it comes to farms and small businesses too. We support the bill as a whole and have worked constructively to try and improve it.' The Tories were contacted for comment. ::: Focaldata conducted a poll of 21,270 UK adults for the TUC from Nov 30 to Jan 8.

Zero-hours contracts: peers accused of ‘trying to block stronger UK workers' rights'
Conservative and Liberal Democrat peers have been accused of trying to block stronger rights for millions of workers amid a growing campaign by business leaders to water down Labour's zero-hours contract plans. In a blow for the government, the Lords last week voted to curtail the manifesto promise to give workers a right to a guaranteed hours contract and day-one protections against unfair dismissal. Setting up a showdown with the upper chamber, the Lords passed a series of amendments to the employment rights bill that will must be addressed by ministers when MPs return from their summer break. In an angry intervention on Monday, the general secretary of the Trades Union Congress, Paul Nowak, said the Lords was 'doing the bidding of bad bosses' and ought to 'get out of the way' of the plans. 'The sight of hereditary peers voting to block stronger workers' rights belongs in another century. It's plain wrong,' he said. Under the Lords' amendments, a requirement for employers to offer zero-hours workers a contract covering a guaranteed number of hours would be shifted to place the onus on staff to ask for such an arrangement. Protections against unfair dismissal from the first day of employment – which the government plans to reduce from the current level of two years – would be extended to six months, and changes to free up trade unions would be curtailed. The bill will return to the Commons in September for MPs to consider the amendments. The two houses then continue to vote on the changes in a process known as 'ping-pong' until a way forward is agreed. The amendments were put forward by the Lib Dem Lord Goddard, a former leader of Stockport council, and two Tory peers: Lord Hunt, who is a shadow business minister, and Lord Sharpe, a former investment banker. Hunt did not respond to a request for comment. Sharpe said: 'Keir Starmer's unemployment bill is a disaster for employees as much as it is a threat to business. Labour politicians who have never worked in business are destroying the economy. Only the Conservatives are listening to business and making the case for growth.' Goddard said he feared Labour's 'rushed bill' would be bad for workers in small businesses and on family-owned farms. 'They were badly let down by the Conservatives, and Labour seems to have a blind spot when it comes to farms and small businesses, too. 'We support the bill as a whole and have worked constructively to try to improve it. It's a shame to see the government getting upset that we didn't simply give them a blank cheque.' Employers groups welcomed the changes, saying the Lords was responding to business concerns. Helen Dickinson, the chief executive of the British Retail Consortium, said: 'Putting forward positive, practical and pragmatic amendments to the employment rights bill [will] help to protect the availability of valuable, local, part-time and entry level jobs up and down the country.'

Dickinson said there was 'further to go' to curb the employment rights bill. 'Even with these amendments accepted, retailers remain worried about the consequences for jobs from other areas of the bill.' Union leaders have, though, urged ministers to stand firm. A recent mega poll of 21,000 people commissioned by the TUC found a majority of UK voters – including Conservative, Lib Dem and Reform UK supporters – backed a ban on zero-hours contracts. Nowak said the government plan included 'commonsense protections' that a majority of people wanted to see become law. 'These peers are not just out of touch, they are actively defying their own voters – and the public at large. The government must stand firm in the face of cynical attacks and deliver the employment rights bill in full.'

Dining across the divide: ‘A 31-month sentence for the Tory councillor's wife seems a bit harsh'
Occupation Electrician Voting record Labour for many years. He didn't vote for Brexit, but voted Conservative in 2019 to 'just get it done and let all the crap happen'. He has voted Green because of climate change, and most recently for Reform Amuse bouche His hobby is paragliding. A few hours before meeting Oliver he was flying over the Yorkshire Dales Occupation English-language examiner and Labour councillor Voting record Labour Amuse bouche He was hit by lightning when he was a toddler, indoors, standing by a metal sink. Unsurprisingly, he doesn't remember it Andrew It was nerve-racking, like a blind date. You don't want to appear to be the arsehole, but you do want to get your point across. I had two veggie bao buns to start, and a tomato linguine. We shared a fruity bottle of white wine, and had coffee afterwards. Oliver I arrived feeling curious. I had a bread and olives platter and a poke salad, and we had a potato rosti on the side. A carb overload! Andrew Our disagreement on immigration concerned the small boats. We agreed that one of the drivers of immigration is the need for low-paid workers to do jobs that people don't want to do. You can pay £2,000 a week for dementia care, and yet the person looking after the patient is paid the minimum wage. It's easier for corporations to lobby for higher levels of immigration than pay a fair wage. Oliver People can feel undercut if unscrupulous employers basically use people as cheap labour. Andrew wasn't blaming individuals. He could see why people would do it. But, equally, I can absolutely see why somebody who's working in a lower-paid job or who's got a particular trade can feel undercut. Andrew My point was: why don't people use the legal routes? I didn't realise that, even when someone does apply through a legal asylum process, it can take five years to get settled in the new country. Some of the situations people are in mean they're going to be dead in about a year. So I don't blame them for coming over that way. I'd do the same. Oliver Immigration and refugee protection systems, nationally and internationally, are struggling to keep up with criminal gangs, which have identified a clear demand and make vast amounts of money.

Before meeting Oliver, I assumed that if you're found out to be gay in Saudi, you die. Oliver I think Andrew would want to see more Muslim figures publicly stating their support for LGBTQ+ rights. As a gay man who has worked for five years in Saudi Arabia and for three years in Kurdistan, Iraq, I feel that it's more nuanced. It depends on the particular community – there's no such thing as one Muslim ideology, just as there's no such thing as one Christian ideology. Oliver We talked about Lucy Connolly, the Tory councillor's wife who was jailed for calling for asylum seekers' hotels to be set on fire after the Southport killings. What she wrote was horrific, and caused real terror to people inside hotels, who had already had pretty traumatic experiences. There should be consequences for things that people post online, if it incites harm or hatred against people. Andrew A sentence of 31 months seems a bit harsh. I'm not saying she's innocent; she deleted her tweet after four hours and it had a quarter of a million views. But they've not left themselves any wiggle room. Kneecap allegedly said 'Kill your local MP' during a show, and MPs have been killed in the past – they didn't face charges, but should they then have been given 31 months? Andrew The biggest thing I'll take away is that the legal route to claim asylum doesn't work. I hadn't appreciated how long it takes and how difficult it is. Oliver It's really important to have respectful conversations with people with different perspectives – and to listen to the emotion and the experience behind their opinions, not simply jump to a conclusion about what kind of person holds it.
