Employment Rights BillContribution
The trade unions should highlight these recent attacks on hard-won women’s rights at work, but they are not. Instead, they often stand with employers to betray their own members. The fight has been left to a ground war by courageous female workers. It is so bad, officially, that a group of nurses from County Durham have had to set up their own Darlington Nursing Union, and I am glad to see the Secretary of State for Health, Wes Streeting, supporting them.
