Even Reform voters think the workers’ rights bill is good news. So why isn’t Labour shouting about it? | Polly Smythe

Labour’s modest employment reform has been attacked by the business lobby.

Key provisions had been walked back before it had even reached parliament.

Trade unions who have fought line by line over the reforms with Labour for years know full well that the government's reticence to champion the bill puts it at greater risk of being further derailed.

Unions are working hard to ensure that the promises Labour made them in opposition are the policies it delivers while in government.

Labour is being pushed by the TUC to use its expansion in workers’ rights as ammunition in the fight against the party.

The TUC published a poll showing the popularity of the bill among Reform voters.
