Employment Rights BillContribution
The Bill is nothing less than a charter for national decline. It is a “back to the 1970s” Bill that will do precisely that. It sacrifices the job prospects of our children and grandchildren just to help rattle the donation tin with Labour’s union paymasters. The Government have U-turned once, admitting that their day one fantasy was a disaster, but changing one measure does not salvage this devastating Bill. The Minister must know the damage she is doing to business and the economy. The Secretary of State must stop bowing to the left on the Labour Benches, start listening to the job creators who provide the jobs we need, and shelve this unemployment Bill today.
