Tory plan post-Brexit attack on workers rights: My Guardian Fletter: join a union
Ed Miliband is right to argue that the protection of workers’ rights is the key post-Brexit task. It’s not surprising that the Tories want to attack them and not just because they have a long history of doing so. While the Brexit agreement includes employment rights as a key area that, if diluted by the UK, would trigger a review, the Tories know that measures such as the working time directive are imperfectly applied across Europe and they would probably get away with diluting them. The solution lies now, as it did before 31 December, with joining and being active in a trade union.
