Employment Rights Bill: what’s the latest, what should we be fighting for?

Join us at 6pm on 12 December for an online briefing and discussion on the Labour government’s Employment Rights Bill, with Maria Exall and Gregor Gall.

As the Labour government prepares to take its Employment Rights Bill – putting into legislation elements of its “New Deal for Working People” and “Plan to Make Work Pay” – through parliament, what’s the latest with its contents? What it’s in, what’s not, what’s been watered down? What will the current state of the Bill mean for the situation facing workers, and specifically for the right to strike?

What struggles should the labour movement be waging around the Bill, both to defend it against further watering down and to try to strengthen of it elements and introduce new ones? What next steps should be preparing for after the law is passed?

Join us for a briefing and discussions organised by the Free Our Unions campaign to repeal the anti-union laws, led by two FOU supporters.
