THE government must “stop dithering” and deliver on its promises to boost employment rights, the TUC said yesterday as a new poll revealed that Britain’s workers want urgent action. On the eve of International Workers’ Day, the union confederation published a survey showing that a huge majority of working people want the same basic rights for all — and that most want an end to the scourge of zero-hours contracts. The poll of more than 2,500 workers, carried out for the TUC by GQR Research, suggests that 84 per cent want to see a raft of basic rights applied to all. Many workers, especially in the gig economy, are not covered even by the limited existing safeguards such as minimum notice periods, protection against unfair dismissal and the right to request flexible working.
