"Too many workers are already killed or injured because their employers took a shortcut – now is the time to strengthen health and safety, not weaken it." Lee Barron MP writes for @labourlist.bsky.social on why workers' health and safety should be a prioritised ✍️ labourlist.org/2026/07/we-c...

Real growth does not sacrifice conditions at work – real growth is a change that workers can feel for the better.

We owe it to those that have come before us to take the opportunity that lies before us now and deliver the New Deal for Working People.

Last night our movement came together to celebrate the Centenary of the Trade Union Group of Labour MPs. 100 years of forging close ties between trade unions and Labour, pushing for more working class representation, and campaigning for better rights at work like the Employment Rights Act.
Health and safety isn't red tape, it's what keeps people safe at work. Lee Barron MP paid tribute to Kenny Campbell Smart, who very sadly died at Corby Steel Works earlier this year, and raised the importance of strengthening health and safety laws to keep all workers safe.
Today, thanks to the Employment Rights Act, the majority of the 2016 Trade Union Act is repealed 🙌🏻. This means unions can focus on what they do best - organising to win better pay and conditions. Now let’s finish the job and deliver the New Deal for Working People in full.
It's an important day as Tory anti-worker restrictions are made a thing of the past. The Employment Rights Act is one of this government's most important achievements. Now we need to see it through. @labourunionsuk.bsky.social
Today, most of the Tories' 2016 Trade Union Act has been scrapped. It's a good day to organise! ✊🌹 labourunions.org.uk/deliverinfull

Looks like we're in line for a new round of Employment Rights Act alarmism. The Times claims, from a CIPD survey, that 'more than half of businesses expected an increase in workplace conflict.' In reality, far more employers said each measure would have no impact on conflict or would reduce it.
Our trade unions play a vital role in improving the lives of working people, and in delivering Labour's landmark Employment Rights Act. This #HeartUnions week, @warinderjussmp.bsky.social celebrates the work our unions do ❤️
Strengthening the link between our trade unions and our MPs 🤝🌹 Yesterday the Trade Union Group Executive met with @joannegsusdaw.bsky.social, Chair of Labour Unions, to discuss the implementation of the Employment Rights Act, and how we deliver the New Deal for Working People in full.

For far too long, my constituents in Corby and East Northamptonshire have not all had access to good, secure, well-paying jobs. Too many of them…

"People need security to plan their finances, security to plan their lives, and security to build a future for themselves and their families." ✍️ Lee Barron MP writes more about his question on the right to a guaranteed hours contract at PMQs this week. labourlist.org/2026/01/lee-...
‘Working people need secure jobs – we must give all workers a Guaranteed Hours Contract’ - LabourList
Insecure work is holding families back. Lee Barron MP on why both Labour’s Employment Rights Act and guaranteed hours contracts are essential for working people and the economy.

Labour made a manifesto commitment to make sure all workers have a contract that reflects the hours they actually work. Employment Rights Act could do just that – if we keep pushing to get the details right. Great question from Lee Barron MP at PMQs today.
Labour's review of Parental Leave could be transformative for young families. We need to make sure it delivers better pay and better leave quickly - as Frances O'Grady sets out in the Lords here 👇
The School Support Staff Negotiating Body established in Labour's Employment Rights Act will give our support staff more ability to negotiate for better pay and conditions. @larry-turner.bsky.social asks the Secretary of State a vital question about when we can expect to see progress on this 👇

The Employment Rights Act could transform the world of work by giving everyone the right to a contract that reflects the hours they work - but we have to get this right. ✍️ @mwheelermp.bsky.social writes for @thefabians.bsky.social on we do this. fabians.org.uk/zero-toleran...

The new right to a guaranteed hours contract in the Employment Rights Act could be transformational, finally ending exploitative short and zero-hour contracts. But we must make sure we get the detail right and ensure all workers benefit.

NEW: @joannegsusdaw.bsky.social video on the passing of the Employment Rights Bill. "This is the Labour-Union link at its very best. It would not have happened without the collective voice of working people that unions bring to the heart of the Labour Party."
I am in tears The Employment Rights Bill has passed the Lords and goes for Royal Assent this week Sick pay for everyone No more zero hours contracts No more trade union act 2016 years So much more Doing what you sent a Labour government here to do
BREAKING: Labour's landmark Employment Rights Bill has PASSED both Houses of Parliament. Its new rights will be transformational. This is a massive step forward in delivering Labour's New Deal for Working People - passed by a Labour Government, delivered with the labour movement. Let's celebrate 🎉
Labour’s landmark Employment Rights Bill has passed BOTH Houses of Parliament today. Marvellous news 👏
