UNIONS and campaigners have slammed the Tories’ “legacy of structural racism” in Britain’s job market.

The TUC warned today there was “racism at every stage of the labour market” after the latest job market figures showed the number of black and minority ethnic (BME) workers in insecure work has soared above their white counterparts.

Between 2011 and 2023, BME workers in insecure jobs increased by half a million, from about 360,200 to 878,800. Proportionally, this is a rise from 12.2 to 16.9 per cent of the workforce.
