Labour MPs to demand more concessions on workers’ rights after government climbdown

Unhappy MPs will push for stronger protections in other areas, such as bogus self-employment arrangements

Labour MPs are preparing to demand further concessions on workers’ rights as the price of accepting ministers’ decision to ditch plans for day-one protection against unfair dismissal.

MPs who are unhappy about the move will push for stronger protections in other areas, such as bogus self-employment arrangements, as part of Labour’s “make work pay” agenda.
