Read the small print as ever. Starmer has been less than honest with many policies, i.e the "Sovereign wealth fund" doesn´t really work like the Norwegian one, he´s effectively just merged two organisations Sunnak created. It would be good if he did do this. Likewise, another big reform should be ending the absurdly long probation periods in the UK. The fact that you don´t get full employment rights until 2 years after starting (in most cases at least) is ridiculous. No employer needs 2 years to decide if someone is competent or not.

It also isn't a sovereign wealth fund in the true sense that an actual national wealth fund comes about when a country is in the rare fortuitous circumstance that tax revenues eclipse spending to such an extent that it cannot be spent on public services. Only a few countries on the planet are fortunate enough to be in that position and we are definitely not one of them. Honestly for us to even be calling it a national wealth fund is embarassing.

My contract is up in August. I’ve been there over 3 years, but I won’t get a permanent one until 4. The industry I’m in are very good at waiting until the nth hour before saying they aren’t renewing contracts. It should be 2 years. After 2 years, workers should be permanent. The number of people I know recently who, due to the same issue, have struggled to pay childcare, mortgages, etc… If Labour want to change something that would make a big difference, do that!.

Id also like to see false self employment in construction dealt with. Where companies force workers to become self employed so that they don't have any employers responsibilities but in fact the workers are being treated like employees. It's the "done thing" in the trades, no workers rights, companies don't pay employers NIC, win win win for the business owners

though in this case the "workers" should be negotiating the terms not having them dictated to them - though Im guessing that doesnt happen. The trades are effectively sub=contracting part of the work - but the key there is contracting..... its you that dictates the pay for that contract (or its negotiated at least and you dont have to take the contract). Id also add its far from just the trades..... Many Many sales jobs are the same. You work for the company but your paid commission based on the sub contract so again no employee liability. Its not necessarily a BAD thing - its likely that eventually ALL jobs will be this - your CONTRACTED to do a job not employed. Well ALL have no benefits - BUT well ALL be aware of it - and the cost of those contracts will be higher as there factored in at the negotiation stage, but in order for it to work it would need to be ALL workers in the same system (inc public sector).

@@paulmapp8306 agreed that theoretically it's not a bad thing but in reality as a "self employed" labourer working for a building company, you have no say in terms of pay/ working terms, you have to request time off and it can be refused, you have to wear a uniform, the company owner dictates how and when work should be done, if you let on that you work for anybody else you get fired Yet at the same time, you have to provide your own tools and van, can be fired with zero notice (as in half way through a day and only get paid the half day), get no holiday pay, have to have your own liability insurance, have to pay for an accountant, get injured at work and get your pay docked for that day.. All for £12/hr

4:32 it's easy for them to sleep at night because they never confront the consequences of their decision. That's why they do it over zoom. I was in a round of layoffs and everyone had a 1:1 meeting with HR to find out if they were staying or going. The manager in charge of the layoffs went to all the meetings of the people who were staying, but not the people who were going. I walked into the lobby of the building to have my meeting and saw him there laughing with someone - I knew then that I was going.

Come on, you're better than this. Even if what Gardiner was talking about was nailed-down, actual policy that was about to be implemented, it would still be a relatively small fix; it would still be implemented and operate within the framework of an economic system that is clearly not fit-for-purpose for almost everyone. As it is, it's not even guaranteed to happen in the way Gardiner wants. Or at all. This is 'revolution' in the sense that putting ketchup on a sh1t3- sandwich is revolutionising your lunch.

He's so right, I used to work for a company that managed TFL to some degree and, when speaking to their stations and services, at least half of the people, especially on the underground were just agency workers, hell, I WAS an agency worker for my company now, but I've since been given a pretty nice contract, but they still use agency staff, so not so sure how I feel about the whole thing, but labours doing great so far imo.

I worked for a retail company on a 6 month contract that got extended on a monthly basis until I was nearly working there a year. At that point I was told I was out if contract and I left. If I had been there a year then I would have been deemed as permanent. I had watched this game being played with some colleagues. So I took great delight in telling them where to go, as I had found work on the meantime. Employers are b@stards, remember that.

The UK should consider adopting Australia's Industrial Relations laws. Thanks to our progressive Labor government, while the UK had Thatcher, Australians now enjoy 1162% more disposable income than their UK counterparts. On the average wage, that's AUD 2,208 per month. Bloody wild. (ChatGPT did the figures). 😂

Here is a great policy for equality in the work place, bonuses should be equal across the whole business. So if the CEO is getting £100,000 in bonus, then so should the people on the shop floor. For too long people in suits have got rich off of the labour of the working class. The workforce on the shop floor is the spine of the company and they work just as hard (probably a lot harder) than any CEO. NO MORE PIZZA, PROPER BONUSES AND PAY RISES NOW!!!!!!

The great majority of the working class feel that there is a disconnect between them and the political system. And who could blame them? Time after time we've seen a total disregard for the working people of this country. From the MP expenses scandal where the public discovered that some of our MPs were literally criminals, using tax payers money to fund their luxurious lifestyles, all while there was about 4 million kids living in poverty in the UK at rhe time. We had the second room tax, where we saw the poorest in society, be punished for being allocated a home with more rooms that what was deemed needed for the occupants, and were then financially punishing them for this by taking the difference from their disability payments. Then we had that clegg guy who told us that if you voted for him and the lib Dems, he would make higher education affordable or even free to all that needed it, only for him to then after being elected into the coalition, not only doesn't vote against the rising of tuition fees, but votes for the motion. So when this guy talks about the working people not trusting anything a politician says, or seeing any real relevance to politics and their lives, then I say, can you blame them?
