Last night, Conservative, Liberal Democrat and Reform MPs all voted to water down Labour’s Employment Rights Bill - undermining the right to a guaranteed hours contract and protection from unfair dismissal. Labour MPs stood together, defending these key new rights for working people.

Tory and Lib Dem Lords are trying to water down the Employment Rights Bill. Tonight MPs can reject their changes. Today, TUC and Labour Unions met Labour MPs to say how crucial it is to hold firm, make sure the Bill is passed intact, and that the New Deal for Working People is delivered in full.

The Employment Rights Bill is the biggest boost to workers’ rights in a generation – and the first step in delivering the #NewDeal. Labour will deliver the Bill in full. No ifs, no buts. 1/3

Tory and Lib Dem Lords have ganged up to water down the rights in the Employment Rights Bill, but we won't let them get away with it. Great article setting out exactly what’s at stake for workers’ rights @mwheelermp.bsky.social www.politics.co.uk/mp-comment/2...

📰Insecure work holding UK economy back. And instead of fixing it, Tory and Lib Dem peers voted to weaken the Employment Rights Bill. ❌ Workers deserve the right to a contract that reflects the number of hours they regularly work. www.lbc.co.uk/article/inse...

Ping pong - bring it on! Tory and Lib Dem Lords have ganged up to water down the rights in the Employment Rights Bill, but we won't let them get away with it. Looking forward to Labour MPs voting to strip Tory and Lib Dem loopholes out of the Bill on Monday 15 September.

Great article by Rachel Hopkins MP on why Labour's Employment Rights Bill could be transformational for working people, and why it needs to be defended from Conservative and Liberal Democrat amendments. 📰 labourlist.org/2025/07/empl...

⚠️One of the so-called “costs” of the Employment Rights Bill is simply making sure low-paid working people get sick pay from day one. Do you think the people who signed that letter have to worry about paying the rent if they’re off sick? 🤔Hmmm...

Bad bosses, the Tories and Reform want to block and undermine the Employment Rights Bill – recycling the same tired arguments the Tories used against the National Minimum Wage 25 years ago. ✍️Add your name, support #NewDeal: labourunions.org.uk/backnewdeal www.thetimes.com/business-mon...

The Employment Rights Bill belongs to working people. It came from our movement, and now it’s Labour govt policy – shaped by unions and backed by millions across the UK. ✊ We’re not stepping back. We’re keeping up the pressure until the #NewDeal is delivered in full labourunions.org.uk/yourrights

The Tory Lib Dem Coalition reunion tour continues. And we can confirm that they really, really are no Oasis... Tory and Lib Dems gang up in the House of Lords to smash new day one rights to protection from unfair dismissal. WHOSE SIDE ARE THEY ON?

If Reform truly supported workers, they would back Labour's Employment Rights Bill, instead they’ve voted it down. Labour in government delivers for working people across our country. Read our General Secretary’s response to Farage’s speech below.⬇️ community-tu.org/community-un...

Southern Water loses more than 100 million litres of water in leaks - every single day. GMB members at Southern work their socks off, but they’re hamstrung by crumbling infrastructure and zero investment. Southern imposing a hosepipe ban, while bills rocket, is shameless.

Together, we elected a Labour Govt with a promise to deliver a New Deal for Working People. A year on, they are delivering on that promise: the Employment Rights Bill will soon be law, they've just published their plan to implement it - and this is just the beginning. #newdeal

🚨 The Tories say Labour’s workers’ rights bill will hurt business. Translation: 🛑 Protecting workers = too much power 🛑 Giving you rights = too risky 🛑 Unions speaking up = dangerous They’ve picked a side - and it’s not yours. www.cityam.com/tories-vow-t...

Roll up, roll up, the Same Old Tories are here with Same Old Promises to slash your rights at work and attack unions. The race to the bottom would be back on track with the Tories. Reform or the Tories - it's your workplace protections that would be for the chop.

The Tories’ draconian 2016 Trade Union Act included a deliberate move to silence the political voice of unions. Now that is being put right. Dave Prentis sets out the groundbreaking campaigns that union political funds have covered here 👇

📈 Angela Rayner is right: the Employment Rights Bill levels the playing field. It stops bad bosses undercutting good ones and backs employers already doing the right thing. “Being pro-worker isn’t a barrier to success – it’s the launch pad to it.” www.thebusinessdesk.com/northwest/ne...

They're scaremongering again.🙄 They said the same about the minimum wage - and they were wrong then too. 📈Fair rights boost recruitment, retention, and respect at work. The #NewDeal is a win for working people. Let’s back it in full. www.cityam.com/employment-r...

The Tories tried to dilute the rights of trade unions to represent workers in the House of Lords. Ordinary workers came together to fight for the rights we have today - as Lord Bryn Davies says here 👇

Farage says Reform are the “true party of the workers”. Give over.🙄 Reform voted against the Employment Rights Bill and now they’re pushing £80bn in tax cuts with no plan to pay for them.💸 Not pro-worker. Not credible. Not fooling anyone. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Farage posed today as a friend to working people. That speech? A stunt. Reform don’t fight for workers - they vote against them. Reform MPs opposed every single protection in the Employment Rights Bill: ❌ Fair pay ❌ Secure jobs ❌ Union rights Call them out: labourunions.org.uk/stop-reform/

Reform want your vote. But not your rights. They voted against every single protection in the Employment Rights Bill. 📛 Against fair pay. 📛 Against secure jobs. 📛 Against trade unions. ✍️ Call it out: labourunions.org.uk/stop-reform/

Every Reform MP voted against the Employment Rights Bill ❌ That means they voted against an end exploitative zero hours contracts, against giving you rights at work from your first day on the job, and against a ban on fire and rehire. Reform UK are not a friend to working people.

The Employment Rights Bill is back in the House of Lords today - and the Tories are back to their old games trying to water down the crucial new rights in the Bill 🧵
