GMB Trade Union - ERB vote 'will improve lives of millions'

GMB Union has said the Employment Rights Bill, which passed the House of Commons today [Wednesday] will 'make the lives of millions of working people better'.

Gary Smith, GMB General Secretary, said:

“The lives of millions of working people will be better because of this bill, but there is still a long way to go.

“These laws would have given warehouse workers in Coventry a chance in the fight against Amazon; they could help defuse our ticking social care timebomb and make sure our children have the support they need through school.

“Bad bosses tried to stop the minimum wage and equal pay; it’s no surprise they are crying wolf again now.

“We can’t let these backward looking blockers get in the way of these vital reforms."
