Perhaps showing a wide-spread appreciation of the way society has been skewed against workers, there would seem to be wide-spread support for Labour's employment rights' bill.
As this suggests, a continuation of the bill's watering down in response to business lobbying, is likely to confirm to both Labour supporters & non-supporters alike that the Labour party really has abandoned its roots in the protection of workers from exploitation & abuse.

@ChrisMayLA6 Oh boy are these people who purpose to support workers rights in for a real shock when Reform gets a sniff of power.
I guess when it happens “I told you so” will be small comfort.

I see the US government is not watering down its executive actions in response to representations from those to be adversely affected by them.
We think poorly of it for that.
Most bills get watered down in a parliamentary democracy, no?
Well, the too & froing does produce some shifts & changes in a democracy you are right, but for the past 15 years, that has been almost completely in one direction, towards the business (or wealthy) interest, hence my comment about the new Govt.

Certainly downhill for the 14 antepenultimate years.
