This Government has a proud history of protecting and enhancing workers’ rights.
As announced in the Queens’ Speech, we will be bringing forward an Employment Bill to implement a range of Manifesto commitments.
This legislation will make workplaces fairer, by providing better support for working families, new protections for those in low-paid work and the gig economy, and by encouraging flexible working.
