- Motion text
Congress notes:
1. That those designated ‘workers’ rather than ‘employees’ are denied basic employment rights such as notice periods, protection against unfair dismissal, and redundancy rights.
2. Regretfully, Lord John Hendy’s Status of Workers Bill, which would have corrected this injustice, did not become law.
3. 1 in 9 workers are in insecure work – a total of 3.7 million workers
4. 67% of those in insecure work do not receive sick pay
5. Labour have committed to introduce Single Employment Status, but has rowed back on guaranteeing full employee rights from day one of employment.
Congress resolves:
a. To work with other trade unions to exert pressure on the next Government to introduce Single Employment Status legislation and guarantee full employment rights from day one of employment.
b. Submit a motion to TUC Congress calling for the TUC to campaign for Single Employment Status on this basis.
