Briefing Note - Employment Rights Bill

The Bill introduced today is not without contention and the Labour Party have faced criticism for their plans on workers’ rights reform.

In 2021, Labour launched a policy document call the ‘New Deal for Working People’. The document set out Labour’s blueprint for employment law reform. Facing criticism in the media and concerns about the impact of the reforms on their electoral success, this was then diluted in the run up to the 2024 general election.
