Labour — Blyth and Ashington

Speaking in the House of Commons on 22 October 2025

Debate

Trade Union Workplace Access

Contribution

I hugely thank my hon. Friend for the work, effort and determination that he put into seeing the Employment Rights Bill through the Commons—absolutely outstanding work. On access to the workplace, does he agree that any individual who wants to speak to a trade union or union representative in the workplace, or perhaps even digitally, should have the opportunity to do so, and that it is only bad employers who have something to fear?
