The Scottish National Party (SNP) and the Labour Party have both announced comprehensive plans to overhaul workers' rights in the UK. The SNP's plan includes increasing the minimum wage, ending age discrimination in pay levels, scrapping zero-hour contracts, banning 'fire and rehire' practices, improving access to statutory sick pay, and repealing anti-strike laws. Labour's 'New Deal for Working People' aims to strengthen sick pay and make it universally available, ban zero-hour contracts and 'fire and rehire', guarantee flexible working and family-friendly hours, ensure a genuine living wage, enforce workers' rights more rigorously, and work with unions to strengthen protections at work. Labour also promises to guarantee basic rights at work from day one and implement tough enforcement against bad employers. Both parties emphasize the importance of voting to bring about these changes.
