Labour’s new Employment Rights Bill, said to be the enactment of the Green Paper New Deal for Working People, has met with a mixed reception in the trade union movement; some warmly welcoming the proposals in the bill – with others already pointing out where the Bill has serious weaknesses.
The Campaign for Trade Union Freedom is holding TWO on-line only webinars on the Employment Rights Bill during the Autumn 2024, looking at what’s good in the Bill and also looking to campaign on the Employment Bill’s shortcomings.
