Employment Rights BillContribution
On amendment 48B, I am exasperated, as I have stated several times, that with the definition of “seasonal work” as captured including work in the creative industries, retail, hospitality and other sectors, there would be an attempt to carve out those sectors from other rights in the Bill. The Tories, Lib Dems, Reform and anybody else who supports the amendment tonight will have to go back and explain to their constituents why they believe that those who serve them behind a bar should access fewer rights than those who work behind a desk. The industries targeted under the amendment are very specific.
