TUC chief calls on ministers to show 'whose side' they are on
Paul Nowak highlights Labour's failure to improve jobs and public services, warning that weakening workers' rights risks further loss of support, urging budget reforms including windfall taxes.
- At the TUC conference in Brighton, Paul Nowak will accuse Sir Keir Starmer of failing to deliver the change Labour promised during the election campaign last year.
- After a troubled first year in government, unions note Labour Party has lost support to Reform UK and risks further erosion to left-wing parties, recalling the party's manifesto last year promised change.
- Pressing the government, Nowak calls for Rachel Reeves' budget to include windfall taxes on bank profits and gambling companies, a wealth tax on millionaires, and lifting the two-child benefit cap introduced by George Osborne during the coalition government.
- Angela Rayner's departure has prompted fears that unions' champion is gone and Conservatives have urged Peter Kyle to scrap the Employment Rights Bill, warning it will reduce jobs and add bureaucracy.
- Unusually, Green Party leader Zack Polanski will address the TUC as unions stress that stronger rights at work are overwhelmingly popular and link this to the manifesto promise to make work pay.
