Labour Party's UK government proposes major employment law changes, including day one unfair dismissal rights, restricting fire and rehire, banning zero-hour contracts, and expanding collective redundancy consultation.
Labour Party's new UK government has proposed significant changes to existing employment laws, aiming for the "biggest upgrade" of workers' rights in a generation. Key proposals include guaranteeing day one rights not to be unfairly dismissed, restricting fire and rehire practices, banning zero-hour contracts, and expanding collective redundancy consultation. The party also plans to study a Green Paper on benefits reform, including the radical reform of Personal Independence Payment (PIP), and to maintain the triple lock system for State Pension increases. Labour aims to boost employment, address economic inactivity, and reform the employment support system, with a focus on enhancing employment opportunities for disabled individuals.
