Labour rows back workers’ rights pledge in latest U turn

Labour has reportedly watered down its plans to strengthen rights for gig economy and precariously employed workers in a bid to woo business leaders. The party’s national policy forum last month agreed a series of changes to the Labour programme as Keir Starmer‘s team firm up their policies ahead of an expected general election next year. In 2021, Sir Keir’s party pledged to create a single status of “worker” in employment law to stop gig economy giants like Deliveroo and Uber from using bogus self-employment to undermine conditions. But the Financial Times reports that the party’s policy documents now pledge only to consult on “a simpler framework” for differentiating the self-employed from workers.
