Last night our movement came together to celebrate the Centenary of the Trade Union Group of Labour MPs. 100 years of forging close ties between trade unions and Labour, pushing for more working class representation, and campaigning for better rights at work like the Employment Rights Act.

Health and safety isn't red tape, it's what keeps people safe at work. Lee Barron MP paid tribute to Kenny Campbell Smart, who very sadly died at Corby Steel Works earlier this year, and raised the importance of strengthening health and safety laws to keep all workers safe.

Today, thanks to the Employment Rights Act, the majority of the 2016 Trade Union Act is repealed 🙌🏻. This means unions can focus on what they do best - organising to win better pay and conditions. Now let’s finish the job and deliver the New Deal for Working People in full.

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.
