So today the Labour party delivered it's promise to workers. Campaigning on it's traditional strength as party of the many not the few for the working man and woman in this country
We’ll give you more control over your working life.
- Ban zero hours contracts – so that every worker gets a guaranteed number of hours each week and enjoys some security.
- Ensure that any employer wishing to recruit labour from abroad does not undercut workers at home - because it causes divisions when people are played off against each other.
- Repeal the Trade Union Act and roll out sectoral collective bargaining – because the most effective way to maintain good rights at work is through a trade union.
- Guarantee trade unions a right to access workplaces – so that unions can support and reach members and potential members
- Four new Bank Holidays – we’ll bring our country together with new holidays to mark our four patron saints, so that workers in Britain get the same proper breaks as in other countries.
- Use public spending power to drive up standards – including only awarding public contracts to companies which recognise trade unions.
We’ll make work pay.
- Raise the minimum wage to £10 – we’ll bring the minimum wage up to the level of the living wage (expected to be at least £10 per hour by 2020), so that no one in work gets poverty pay.
- End the public sector pay cap - because public sector wages have fallen and our workers deserve a pay rise.
- Amend the takeover code to ensure every takeover proposal has a clear plan in place to protect workers and pensioners – because workers shouldn’t suffer when a company is sold.
- Roll out maximum pay ratios – because it cannot be right that wages at the top keep rising while everyone else’s stagnates.
- Ban unpaid internships – because it’s not fair for some to get a leg up when others can’t afford to.
We’ll ensure everyone is treated equally at work.
- Give all workers equal rights from day one, whether part-time or full-time, temporary or permanent – so that all workers have the same rights and protections whatever kind of job they have.
- Enforce all workers' right to trade union representation - so that all workers can be supported when negotiating with their employer.
- Abolish employment tribunal fees – so that people aren’t priced out of seeking justice when they’ve been treated unfairly by an employer.
- Double paid paternity leave to four weeks and increase paternity pay – because fathers are parents too and deserve more time to spend with their new babies.
- Strengthen protections for women against unfair redundancy – because no one should be penalised for having children.
- Hold a public inquiry into blacklisting – to ensure blacklisting remains a thing of the past.
- Give equalities reps statutory rights – so they have time to protect workers from discrimination.
- Reinstate protection against third party harassment – because everyone deserves to be safe at work.
- Introduce a civil enforcement system to ensure compliance with gender pay auditing – so that all workers have fair access to employment and promotion opportunities and are treated fairly at work.
Polling day for local elections.
Do you intend to vote?
Will you vote for the same party you always have or for someone different, an independent maybe?
There is no local election here until 2018
last time I voted for the Trade Union and Socialist Coalition in the local election because they where the only ones opposing local cuts and the austerity con and I voted for the Greens in the European election.
As a pragmatist i will vote Labour in the coming general election for the sake of my kids and grandkids before the entire country and everything we stand for is sold off.
Lyle a video is not a contribution and nobody but you are in least bit concerned with 'gotcha' moments. Grow up you are contributing nothing, zilch,zero.
It IS a contribution as it shows the ties the Labour Party has to ACTUAL Communism, like fucking marching around praising Stalin Communism....but hey I'm sure your "Well what's wrong with that?" attitude is a massive contribution in your mind.
"Grow up" learn to fucking debate you whiny pussy
I don't have to repeatedly go to The Thinkery or Brietbart or anywhere else to tell me what I should think. This is a thread about the UK election not an excuse for you to make it about your own personal crusade against communism. I have TODAY posted 21 policy points published today by the Labour Party as it's promise to workers. Also because it is polling day for many in the local elections HERE IN BRITAIN I have asked people about that. You haven't addressed any of it and have had to resort to calling me a whining pussy. I have marched with Class War, Communists in demonstrations because of you have a common goal then you don't go around and vet everybody taking part to make sure you all agree 100% on everything.
That is the whole point. You have no desire to build consensus so in reality you have never once taken part in a debate for the whole history of Saddo. That is the point from which most people start.
Your entire posting history is one big existential howl. Not me, Not Gandalf, Not Bilbo, the king of the whiners my friend is you.
