Want to help protect the rights we've worked so hard for? Sign the petition now.

We won sick pay, pregnancy protections and an end to no-fault evictions because workers and renters organised and demanded them. Now Reform UK's Great Repeal Bill pledges to scrap the Employment Rights Act, the Renters' Rights Act, and even the Equality Act that protects you from discrimination at work.

Scrapping your rights won't lower your bills or raise your pay. It just hands power to bad bosses and rogue landlords.

Workers across the country are putting posters up in their workplaces and telling Parliament: oppose the Great Repeal Bill.

Take 30 seconds and sign the petition now:
