TUC highlights benefits from government’s workers’ rights reforms

Even modest gains from the government’s workers’ rights reforms would benefit the UK economy by over £13 billion a year, according to new TUC analysis. The analysis models some of the key benefits of the Employment Rights Bill – identified by the government’s impact assessment of the Bill. The research shows that even if the Bill just delivers small improvements in areas such as employee wellbeing, industrial relations and labour market participation the economic gains will outweigh any costs, said the TUC.
