flag UK labor bill, nearing royal assent, aims to end zero-hours contracts and boost job security for over a million workers.

flag A new UK Labour Party employment bill, nearing royal assent, could grant greater job security to over a million workers by banning zero-hours contracts, ensuring "day one" compensation for unfair dismissal, and introducing guaranteed hours. flag Research from the Work Foundation shows these reforms would have reduced severely insecure work by 1.2 million in 2023, with young, female, Black, Asian, and disabled workers benefiting most. flag Experts warn that diluted amendments or weak enforcement could undermine the bill’s impact, urging full implementation and establishment of a national Secure Work Commission to ensure lasting change.
