Work with GMB members in your temporary workforce to get a job guarantee contract that treats staff with respect and gives them security at work without the need to claim ‘in work’ benefits.

GMB - the trade union for Amazon staff - is campaigning with local communities, tax justice groups and Amazon staff to make sure the company makes its full contribution to rebuilding the UK economy - both by paying wages its staff can live on and by paying its taxes.

Protect Workers Rights From Brexit

25/1/2017

0 Comments

 
Support the Workers' Rights (Maintenance of EU Standards) Bill.

Rights for working people in Britain have been hard-won, often the result of decades of pressure from the labour movement. Brexit gives the Government the opportunity to undo all that work.

Why is this important? 

Workers' rights in this country have been hard-won, but Brexit now gives the Government the chance to strip workers in Britain of their protections and rights at work. We can't allow that to happen.

The Workers' Rights (Maintenance of EU Standards) Bill seeks to ensure that there is a floor of workers' rights below which no contract or employer can sink. This applies to rights such as protecting workers from redundancy if their company changes hands, health and safety rules and measures to protect employee representatives against detrimental treatment for carrying out their role.

Please sign to support this bill https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/protect-workers-rights-from-brexit and write to your MP to ask them to do the same. Draft letter here-  http://www.melanieonn.co.uk/10_minute_rule
