This has to be stopped – hard-won workers’ rights like the 48-hour working week, rest breaks at work and holiday pay entitlements are at risk. On Monday, MPs will vote on protecting these rights from being watered down by the government. Write to your MP today and send a message that our rights are not up for grabs.
Ministers have already admitted employment protections are being reviewed after Brexit. They claim there are no plans to undermine workers’ rights, but why order a review if you don’t intend to change anything?
The European Movement will fight any and all plans to dilute our rights. British workers currently enjoy specific protections:
- Including overtime in holiday pay calculations, ensuring employees who put in extra hours are not left out of pocket
- A legal cap on the number of hours people can be made to work by their employers
- The right to rest breaks at work, protecting the safety of key workers
It is time this government killed the rumours and ruled out any change to these vital safeguards for British workers. If you agree with us that these vital rights must be protected, please write to your MP now.
Monday’s vote on workers’ rights is the first since the UK left the EU. MPs must take this opportunity to send a message that a fairer future for all has to include matching or exceeding the protection of workers’ rights that we enjoyed as part of the EU.
The clock is ticking – it’s time to send a message.
Best Wishes,
Caroline Lucas MP
