TRADE UNIONISTS urged Britain’s workers to “generate industrial power in the workplace” after legal experts warned the next decade will be full of “ambiguity” for workers’ rights.

Irwin Mitchell solicitors have expressed concern that the Withdrawal Act 2020, which agreed that Britain would leave the European Union on January 31, has no guarantees about enshrining European labour legislation into British law.

Although Britain will follow all EU law during the transition period ending on December 31, Irwin Mitchell’s Sybille Steiner said that the Act “does not contain any reassurances about worker rights.”
