The issue of zero-hours contracts in the UK has intensified under the Tories, with over one million workers on such precarious contracts, as reported by a TUC report. Labour Party members, including Angela Rayner and Jo Stevens, have strongly advocated for a ban on zero-hours contracts, aligning with @UKLabour's plan to enhance labor rights. The TUC's Paul Nowak criticized employers for indefinitely keeping workers on these contracts, highlighting the need for change. Labour's proposed New Deal for Working People (@ND4WP) aims to address in-work poverty, strengthen worker protections, repeal unnecessary anti-trade union laws, and improve living standards and the economy, as supported by MP Tan Dhesi.
Harsh Tory restrictions on #union activity are holding back #LivingStandards and the #economy. That's why I'm proud to back @UKLabour #NewDealforWorkingPeople to repeal unnecessary anti #TradeUnion laws, end #InWorkPoverty and strengthen protections for working people. https://t.co/2wh7UxQSTF
.@nowak_paul is right on the money when he says "The UK's long experiment with a low-rights, low-wage economy is a complete failure ... Labour's New Deal for Working People stands in stark contrast to the Conservative's dire record." We need the #ND4WP https://t.co/RbAIDcQEvu
Insecure employment has surged under the Tories, with over one million working people in the UK on zero-hours contracts. It's time to end the race to the bottom on workers' rights. Back @UKLabour's plan to ban zero-hours contracts now 👇 https://t.co/9AmWE81bhj
Hundreds of thousands of workers on zero hours contracts are "stuck" in insecure jobs. TUC's @nowak_paul says: "Bad employers are parking workers on zero hours contracts for years on end." https://t.co/3RXVAimicN
Most zero hours workers are “stuck” on their contracts, showing the need to ban them, according to a TUC report. It said hundreds of thousands of workers are being trapped in low-pay and insecurity, with bad employers “parking workers on zero hours contracts for years on end”. https://t.co/SCPESfT9uQ
Insecure work has exploded under the Tories. More than one million working people in the UK are on zero-hours contracts. A Labour government will ban them.👇🏻 https://t.co/llDJgrgyii
