Dignity at work is not a limited resource. Women’s rights to safety, respect and equality are fundamental – and so are the rights of trans people. The struggle for equality and the struggle for workers’ rights has never been separate, they are part of the same fight against exploitation, inequality and injustice. tuc.org.uk/news/lese/tuc-…

NEW 🚨 | 79% of people support plans to protect workers from harassment, making it one of the most popular policies in the Employment Rights Bill. Farage and Badenoch mischaracterising it as “an end to pub banter” insults the public’s intelligence. It shows how out of touch the Tories and Reform are.
