After 25 years, what has devolution delivered for workers?

TUC initial analysis of the findings of the Centre for Research in Employment and Work's new report.

One of the clear problems, it seems, is the UK government refuses to devolve #EmploymentRights, so where there is an appetite to increase workers rights, such as in Scotland, Wales and Manchester, the authorities haven't had the power to do so.

@fbpe 2022 saw the #Tory knives out for each other, yet we have another 2 years of their #malfeasance ahead to anticipate with their sights firmly set on our #EmploymentRights. We need to rub their faces in a #SuperMajority against #Brexit to curb their excesses, preserve our #PublicSector & ensure that the opposition understands this & stops its cowardly acquiescence.

@PeterStefanovic I would hope that you're right but I fear the #GeneralStrike2023 may become what historians write most about #Brexit. #EmploymentRights #BrexitFreedomsBill https://www.lewissilkin.com/en/insights/what-might-the-brexit-freedoms-bill-mean-for-employment-law

IDK who needs to hear this (a hell of a lot of academics AND their employers, probably) but, under UK #employmentLaw, non-renewal of a fixed term contract is a type of #redundancy, and if you have at least 2 years continuous service, then you’re entitled to at least statutory severance pay (possibly contractual, if the #union has wangled it).

@margarance I stopped posting there as I won't support a company that has such a crap attitude to the people it employs.

Looking at the state of the country - which is ever worsening with each passing moment that this current political party remains in power - there are some of us who, years ago, said that #Brexit was indeed this very animal in the room for what would inevitably be the nuclear fallout of its impact. Everyone, unless you are in the financially elite, suffers. #NHS #Health #Housing #WelfareSupport #Business #Wages #Jobs #Trade #Workforce #EmploymentRights #Farming #HumanRights #Exports #Imports

@LauraThompson the #RetainedEUBill on #EmploymentRights are the real reason for #PolicingAct which allows more extensive arrests of #protestors, it wasn't designed for #JustStopOil, it was for those of us #Protesting about our #Employment,Maternity,EqualPay,HolidayPay, and other Employment #Rights
