The right to flexible and remote working should be enshrined in law, Labour has said, as it was feared a “two-tier world of work” would become further entrenched after the pandemic.
Labour claims that analysis of data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows that while chief executives and those living in London are most likely to be able to work from home, young people, keyworkers and those who live in the north of England are losing out.
The party said the Government had promised to protect workers’ rights in the Employment Bill in 2019, but that this had failed to materialise.
