Bridget Phillipson Labour Member of Parliament for Houghton and Sunderland South

It was working people who pulled us through this pandemic, and the reward for 1 in 10 of them is Fire and Rehire.
Fire and Rehire has been used as an aggressive negotiation tactic by bad bosses, many of which have made record profits during the pandemic. That is completely unacceptable, and we need urgent action, not warm words from the Government.
Labour will make Britain the best place to work in – and that’s why today I voted for Parliament to take action to outlaw Fire and Rehire.
Unfortunately, the Tories blocked the Bill. They are not on the side of working people.
