Bringing together Labour MPs who are members of trade unions affiliated to the Labour Party, campaigning for workers' rights and a New Deal for Working People. Promoted by the Trade Union Group of Labour MPs, 20 Rushworth Street, London SE1 0SS
Today, thanks to the Employment Rights Act, the majority of the 2016 Trade Union Act is repealed ππ».
This means unions can focus on what they do best - organising to win better pay and conditions. Now letβs finish the job and deliver the New Deal for Working People in full.
It's an important day as Tory anti-worker restrictions are made a thing of the past.
The Employment Rights Act is one of this government's most important achievements. Now we need to see it through. @labourunionsuk.bsky.social
Today, most of the Tories' 2016 Trade Union Act has been scrapped.
It's a good day to organise! βπΉ

Looks like we're in line for a new round of Employment Rights Act alarmism.
The Times claims, from a CIPD survey, that 'more than half of businesses expected an increase in workplace conflict.'
In reality, far more employers said each measure would have no impact on conflict or would reduce it.
Our trade unions play a vital role in improving the lives of working people, and in delivering Labour's landmark Employment Rights Act.

Yesterday the Trade Union Group Executive met with
@joannegsusdaw.bsky.social, Chair of Labour Unions, to discuss the implementation of the Employment Rights Act, and how we deliver the New Deal for Working People in full.
Agree with Lee that everyone should have the right to a contract that reflects the hours they actually work?
Add your name to keep the pressure on the government to make sure this new right is implemented properly:

π΄ Labour MP for Corby and East Northamptonshire, Lee Barron provides his views on the need for Guaranteed Hours Contracts π

"People need security to plan their finances, security to plan their lives, and security to build a future for themselves and their families."
βοΈ Lee Barron MP writes more about his question on the right to a guaranteed hours contract at PMQs this week.
labourlist.org/2026/01/lee-...
Labour made a manifesto commitment to make sure all workers have a contract that reflects the hours they actually work.
Employment Rights Act could do just that β if we keep pushing to get the details right.
Great question from Lee Barron MP at PMQs today.
Labour's review of Parental Leave could be transformative for young families. We need to make sure it delivers better pay and better leave quickly - as Frances O'Grady sets out in the Lords here π
The School Support Staff Negotiating Body established in Labour's Employment Rights Act will give our support staff more ability to negotiate for better pay and conditions.
@larry-turner.bsky.social asks the Secretary of State a vital question about when we can expect to see progress on this π

π¨π‘ππͺ! Comment piece from @mwheelermp.bsky.social on why he's launching our campaign to make sure the new right to a Guaranteed Hours Contract is implemented properly.
"Now that the Employment Rights Act has passed, thereβs a risk people think βjob doneβ."

The Employment Rights Act could transform the world of work by giving everyone the right to a contract that reflects the hours they work - but we have to get this right.
βοΈ @mwheelermp.bsky.social writes for @thefabians.bsky.social on we do this.
fabians.org.uk/zero-toleran...
The new right to a guaranteed hours contract in the Employment Rights Act could be transformational, finally ending exploitative short and zero-hour contracts.
But we must make sure we get the detail right and ensure all workers benefit.
βThe employment rights bill and the New Deal for Working People are some of the Labour governmentβs most popular policiesβ
Labourβs plan to offer guaranteed hours contracts to all workers will be transformational - only if we get it right.

NEW: @joannegsusdaw.bsky.social video on the passing of the Employment Rights Bill.
"This is the Labour-Union link at its very best. It would not have happened without the collective voice of working people that unions bring to the heart of the Labour Party."
A historic day for working people!
I am in tears
The Employment Rights Bill has passed the Lords and goes for Royal Assent this week
Sick pay for everyone
No more zero hours contracts
No more trade union act 2016 years
So much more
Doing what you sent a Labour government here to do
BREAKING: Labour's landmark Employment Rights Bill has PASSED both Houses of Parliament. Its new rights will be transformational.
This is a massive step forward in delivering Labour's New Deal for Working People - passed by a Labour Government, delivered with the labour movement. Let's celebrate π
Labourβs landmark Employment Rights Bill has passed BOTH Houses of Parliament today. Marvellous news π
The House of Lords meets this afternoon to debate the Employment Rights Bill - again.
WATCH: Last night, our MPs sent a clear message to the Lords - it's time to get out of the way and pass the Employment Rights Bill - today!
MPs have PASSED the Employment Rights Bill AGAIN.
Now its over to the Lords to do the right thing - pass the Bill and deliver the new rights that working people are crying out for.
It's time for the House of Lords to pass the Employment Rights Bill.
HIGHLIGHTS: Yesterday, Labour MPs stood firm to vote down Conservative and Lib Dem amendments that would water down the landmark Employment Rights Bill. See the highlights here π
The votes are in: MPs have REJECTED the Conservative and Liberal Democrat attempts to water down Labour's landmark Employment Rights Bill.
Time for the Lords to get out of the way, so the Government can deliver on their manifesto commitment to implement a New Deal for Working People in full.
