UK general election

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.
