The Campaign’s Co-chair, Tony Burke, reflects on the passage of the Employment Rights Act and the role of the House of Lords, particularly hereditary peers labouroutlook.org/2025/12/19/a... @labouroutlook.bsky.social

The editorial in today's @mstaronline.bsky.social morningstaronline.co.uk/article/mode... Modest Gains Dressed up as a Historic Win for Workers just about sums it up.

Here's the view of the Bakers' Union after the passage of the Employment Rights Bill through the Lords (in the teeth of opposition from Tory, particularly hereditary, peers). The union is calling for an Employment Rights #2 Bill to redress the deficiencies in ERB #1. www.bfawu.org/bfawu-respon...

Unelected House of Lords has again blocked the already deficient Employment Rights Bill from becoming law; this time the issue was the abolition on the ceiling for ET awards for those unfairly dismissed - ERB was in the manifesto, the HoL should back off www.tradeunionfreedom.co.uk/statement-fr...

The General Secretary of the CGT union in France, Sophie Binet, has been charged by the police with “insulting language” for describing French employers who complain about the cost of France's social model as "rats leaving a sinking ship.” Sign petition in support of Sophie here: c.org/jF72bZjzVq

Here's the Campaign's statement on the Government's reversal on day 1 rights for unfair dismissal, yet another step backwards from what was promised in New Deal for Working People www.tradeunionfreedom.co.uk/statement-on...

Labour Government goes back on commitment for day 1 rights for all workers. Backtracking on New Deal for Working People.

Yet another problem with Employment Rights Bill. Because it relies on rights for individual workers; it's up to the worker to enforce via the Employment Tribunal. If the worker wins, this research shows that many bosses ignore the remedy and do not pay. www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2025...
