Real hope.
Real change.
Millions of people have seen their pay seriously eroded by inflation for well over a decade, including many who work in vital public services. Green MPs will defend and extend workers’ rights to organise in the workplace, pushing for:
- Repeal of current anti-union legislation and its replacement with a positive Charter of Workers’ Rights, with the right to strike at its heart along with a legal obligation for all employers to recognise trade unions.
- A maximum 10:1 pay ratio for all private- and public-sector organisations.
- An increase in the minimum wage to £15 an hour, no matter your age, with the costs to small businesses offset by reducing their National Insurance payments.
- Equal employment rights for all workers from their first day of employment, including those working in the ‘gig economy’ and on zero-hours contracts. Gig employers that repeatedly break employment, data protection or tax law will be denied licences to operate.
- A move to a four-day working week.
