NEW RIGHT #1:
You can no longer be fired for striking.

From Oct 30th, being fired for striking is considered “unfair dismissal”.

You are also protected against other forms of workplace detriment as a result of organising or taking part in a strike; cutting hours, blocking promotion or pay rise, refusing training or bullying and harassment.

NEW RIGHT #2:
Your employer must legally inform you of your right to join a union

- All new employees must be informed of their right to join a union from Jan 1st 2027
- All existing employees must be informed of their right to join a union from April 5th 2027

NEW RIGHT #3:
Unions have a legal right to access workplaces.

Before, it was a toss up whether you ended up in a unionised workplace or not. Now, unions can inform workplaces of their wish to visit the site, or contact workers through digital means in order to provide information and recruit.

NEW RIGHT #4
You are protected from unfair dismissal from 6 months of service

You used to only get these protections after 2 years of service. From January 2027, you will be protected after only 6 months.

Reduce the state pension age to 65. We believe this could mean people can retire with dignity and avoid hardship. We also think it could free up jobs for younger workers entering the labour market.
