Labour turns its back on workers’ rights

Labour Turns Its Back on Workers’ Rights

By watering down its commitment to workers' rights, the Labour Party is abandoning its last truly transformative policy – and consigning mil

“Labour has undermined the principle of universality that underpins its entire programme for employment rights. This means a tiered system of rights and entitlements will remain in place and makes the pledge to give all workers the same rights from day one impossible.

“When the New Deal was originally developed, the Labour leader, his cabinet and the party’s affiliated trade unions shared a vision. They sought to build a dignified workplace in which workers – from the moment they took up employment – would have the ability to take time away after the birth of a child or a bereavement, to enjoy a decent work-life balance and not to be arbitrarily dismissed.

“The document was a recognition of the fact that the tiered system is one of the key drivers of low pay and insecurity, responsible for 3.7 million being trapped in ‘insecure work’ who do not know when their next shift will be or if they will be able to pay their bills ... The New Deal was designed to end the most exploitative practices in the gig economy – where workers are often paid below the minimum wage, made to work in dangerous conditions and denied rest breaks. One such example is Amazon delivery drivers, who have been forced to drive through exhaustion and urinate in bottles ...

“The lack of rights and protections is not just a problem for those in insecure forms of work. It is a problem for workers and the economy as a whole. These practices put a downward pressure on wages and terms across the board, making us all poorer and facilitating a race to the bottom that is partly responsible for Britain’s poor growth and productivity. 

“The expansion of the gig economy in particular demonstrates how exploitative employment practices threaten once-secure jobs. The assault by Royal Mail against the terms and conditions of posties, for example, is a response to gig economy parcel delivery companies undercutting the postal service.”

Yessss. Just chatted with a Finnish social service (Kela) person on the phone, and apparently I’m still entitled to Finnish maternity pay etc. + maternity package (if it’s sent to a Finnish address, such as that of my parents). This is incredibly good news to me because Finnish maternity pay is much better than that of Britain, and the maternity package is extremely good for a new start. Here’s a link to the maternity package and what it contains: http://www.kela.fi/web/en/maternitypackage?inheritRedirect=true
