Angela Rayner to lay amendment to speed up workers’ rights bill
Exclusive: Former deputy PM understood to have accepted compromise on day-one rights, after ‘considerable anger’ over Lords intervention
The former deputy prime minister Angela Rayner will lay an amendment on Wednesday to speed up the workers rights’ bill, after “considerable anger” that unelected Lords forced the watering down of day-one rights.
The amendment would mean the new shorter qualifying period is in place by early next year.
