If Labour scrap or water this down, they will have lost my vote in 2029.
Well at first this sounded bad.
Then I saw TfL workers were striking for a 32 hour week.
So dilute away…
Labour will start diluting workers rights and then Farage and co will eliminate workers rights altogether when their junta gets into Downing St in 2029.
This is the point at which rhetoric meets reality. Labour have said there’s no conflict between these kind of changes and economic growth, and now do they really believe that?
I think it’s pretty clear whatever you think of this policy it will reduce growth, which then means Labour will require some even more dramatic policies elsewhere to get the economy moving. And I’m not seeing that, everything else seems very cautious and incremental.
Of course they would. It’s profits over people, isn’t it obvious yet?
It’s not just the private sector who are stressed out over the potential workers rights bills
The anti banter clause or the no abuse at work rule even from customers. is going to be massive for the public sector, with it shut up and put up with abuse whaddya expect attitude to frontline staff. whilst waving around words like, vulnerable in a meaningless flippant way,
You ever work the Council tax phone lines or social care finance? this bill would make the current conditions for every employee illegal.
It will no longer be some BS about call control because, someone started screaming at you before you have chance to utter a word. It will be your employers failing to protect you and about time
This will cover social care and support, plus staff in medical settings like the NHS.
Same goes for some customer care departments in the private sector
The banter, or even customers don’t have a right to scream at you, clause, is a lot bigger and undermines current, gaslighting BS around call control, as if it’s your fault you earn 50p above the minimum wage and you are personally wrote out their CT bill.
Good.
I think Labour need to remember businesses are not voters. If they scrap the workers rights bill I will be taking my vote elsewhere.
Jobs employment and a growing economy. This is what they need to do. If they can get the economic’s right and a growing economy then the social issues will by default improve. Younger people (not all) look at social issues and not at the economics. Is that patronising yes but that’s how it is from what I can see and how it’s always been. Unfortunately the government inherited a bad economy and a very stagnant economy. It will be very difficult to improve things especially as the UK press constantly talk down scaremonger and attack anything they do. You would think it’s in “everyone’s” interest to improve the economy. The so called people who call themselves patriots seem to be acting and talking the opposite.
AI is already destroying jobs at an incredibly fast pace so anything that makes hiring people less attractive is probably not going to help employment figures.
Classic Starmerism, promise something that sounds good and then a swift about turn when you actually get elected.
He did it to get the Labour leadership and it looks very much like he’s done it in a number of areas with the GE too.
Decent workers rights make our shitty wages more tolerable. If things get worse then I’d seriously consider looking for greener pastures where wages actually reflect reality.
Workers rights are thrown out the window by sub contracting and zero hours work around. Work below min wage and do whatever job we ask or we’ll stop giving you hours.
Well they’ve got rid of the only left-leaning member of the cabinet, so it’s far more likely now.
Starmer will not last the whole term, I really hope so anyway. Is starmer really the best they have to offer.
I’m not as much in the know as maybe some of about mps in labour. Who would you replace him with if you could?
I think the negative economic effects of having basically no rights against dismissal for 2 years in a new job are really underappreciated. It’s a huge disincentive to change jobs to something that would potentially be more suitable for any given person.
Only a sample size of one here, but take my brother as an example. He’s just bought a house with his partner, currently doing a fairly crappy office admin job that he doesn’t really enjoy and isn’t particularly good at. There are a few openings at a company in commutable distance that would be much more suited to his skills, which would also come with a fairly decent (but not great) pay increase.
But he’s decided that the risk of getting booted out of the new job for basically any reason at all within 2 years is nowhere near worth the risk now that he has a mortgage to pay. I wonder how many people up and down the country come to the same conclusion? Probably not the primary cause of the UK’s dire productivity but incentivising people to stay in crappy but secure jobs by loading an enormous amount of risk onto employees can’t be helping matters.
