Amazing but true, folks. She thought she could hide this little bombshell in among all the lies about putting workers in the boardroom but Labour’s Ian Lavery will spell it out for you here:

Here’s the official Labour press line:

Conservatives love to talk about protecting workers’ rights at election time. But they very quickly change their tune, as David Schneider elaborates in the following tweet:

When there’s an election: “We Tories will protect and expand workers’ rights”

And then of course there’s the fact that, even if they did bring in new rights for workers, the Conservative government has implemented huge fees which must be paid before any employee can take their employer to a tribunal.

So there is no way you can enforce your new rights.

Tories promising workers rights when their imposition of, and hikes in, tribunal fees mean few can afford to enforce those rights. Clever. — david allen green (@davidallengreen) May 15, 2017

Let’s go back to Mr Schneider for his opinion on this:

“We are the party of working people” say the Tories. In other news, lions are the health and safety team for antelopes. — David Schneider (@davidschneider) May 15, 2017

And what will Labour do about those tribunal fees? I’m glad you asked.

Labour will abolish them.

Labour is the real party of workers' rights. We will abolish unjust employment tribunal fees. https://t.co/y0pIMrYCk9 — Richard Burgon MP (@RichardBurgon) May 15, 2017

If you’re a working person and you want your rights and conditions of work protected…

Vote Labour on June 8. It’s the only sensible choice.
