MPs urged to get Employment Rights Bill over the line
Campaigners from the Safe Sick Pay coalition with a symbolic ‘Get Well Soon’ card in Westminster in London to urge Prime Minister Keir Starmer to address flaws in the government's Employment Rights Bill, which currently doesn't address the low levels of Statutory Sick Pay and threatens to reduce the entitlement for 300,000 workers, March 10, 2025

MPs were urged to get “on the right side of history” today as the Employment Rights Bill came up for its final Commons vote.

The TUC demanded backing for the Bill and said public support was overwhelming for its “common sense policies.”

MPs were expected to give the Bill its last Commons reading in a vote today after months of refinement and lobbying by business pressure groups.
