We will help people balance work and family life by:
- Giving everyone full rights from day one on the job.
- Strengthening protections for whistleblowers and rights against unfair dismissal for all workers, with extra protections for pregnant women, those going through the menopause and terminally ill workers.
- Ending bogus self-employment and creating a single status of ‘worker’ for everyone apart from those genuinely self-employed in business on their own account, so that employers can not evade workers’ rights; and banning overseas-only recruitment practices.
- Introducing a legal right to collective consultation on the implementation of new technology in workplaces.
- Banning zero-hour contracts and strengthening the law so that those who work regular hours for more than 12 weeks will have a right to a regular contract, reflecting those hours.
We will make sure people are treated equally at work by:
- Increasing wages through sectoral collective bargaining.
- Requiring breaks during shifts to be paid.
- Requiring cancelled shifts to be paid and proper notice for changes in hours.
- Giving all workers the right to flexible working.
- Extending statutory maternity pay from nine to 12 months.
- Doubling paternity leave from two weeks to four and increasing statutory paternity pay.
- Introducing statutory bereavement leave, guaranteeing workers time off to grieve the loss of close family members or following miscarriage.
- Introducing four new bank holidays celebrating our four patron saints’ days.
- Reviewing family-friendly employment rights, including rights to respond to family emergencies.
- Requiring employers to devise and implement plans to eradicate the gender pay gap – and pay inequalities underpinned by race and/or disability – or face fines.
- Requiring employers to maintain workplaces free of harassment, including harassment by third parties.
- Increasing protection against redundancy for people wherever they work.
- Giving statutory rights to equalities representatives.
- Setting up a Royal Commission to bring health (including mental health) and safety legislation up to date.
- Ensuring that public-facing workers are protected by toughening the law against abuse and violence.

Ok so where do we all stand on this who is opposed to the above ?
Honestly, reading it again, I think the old fool has completely lost the plot.
I don't know whether it's because he's seen the shambles which is Johnson and the Tory campaign and decided to push the boat out, or whether he knows he's going to lose, so may as well go out with a bang? But that is perhaps the most ridiculous set of manifesto pledges I have ever seen. It's staggeringly, shockingly bonkers. Off the scale bonkers. There can barely be an international firm in the UK who would not be drawing up their relocation plans if they believed that lot was coming.
Has it got idiot McCluskey's paw prints all over it I wonder? Or evil Marxist McDonnell? Either which way, it is a manifesto to destroy the UK, either by accident or by design.
At least he’s not actually said: “Fuck business”Cobryn: "It is sometimes claimed I am anti-business". Well no fucking shit, Sherlock.
Look at the shite above from an employers' perspective. Just look at it.
Where is there ANYTHING in there that is pro-business?

Me as I want to work zero hours contracts. I want to do consultancy work so I can work the hours I want to work and decide what work I take on or not. This bollox above just means companies will refuse my services as they will think it’s too much hassle as I get all kinds of employment protections neither of us want.
You just cannot get your head around the fact that I am not a rich toff, can you. It's beyond your and your comrades' intellectual capacity to imagine that normal working class lads like me could possibly see this pile of shite for what it is.I know that you would sooner have a bonfire with regulations like Boris and have it all
I think that you might have the wrong end of the stick here because this is more about the likes Weatherspoons, Sports Direct Deliveroo and Uber. I have a clients who are just like you but in IT and I don't see how this could be applied to project based type of work.

Hahahahahaha. (Not laughing at you by the way!)The option of not leaving the EU is the most pro-business policy of them all.

This isn’t the Lib Dem threadThe option of not leaving the EU is the most pro-business policy of them all.

Hahahahahaha. (Not laughing at you by the way!)
The irony being, that isn't even Labour policy!
But seriously mate, leaving the EU would be a mere bagatelle compared to the single-handed trashing of our economy which this would do. Surely you can see that? I know you're a passionate Remainer, as I was. But genuinely I really don't think it will be that bad - I would not be voting for it if I did. We'll end up with an EU trade deal of sorts and OK, yes, growth might be a bit lower, but the world will keep spinning. Corbyn would see the country literally bankrupt. I mean literally. As in Greece.
Longest suicide note.....Honestly, reading it again, I think the old fool has completely lost the plot.
