Labour's proposed employment rights bill is gaining traction as a potential remedy for its declining popularity, particularly among former Conservative and Reform voters. A TUC-commissioned poll indicates substantial support for key policies, including protections against harassment and the ban on zero-hours contracts. While these changes could elevate Labour's ratings by up to 13 points, there is a concerning lack of awareness among the electorate about the reforms. The findings highlight the potential for positive shifts in public opinion as voters become informed about the bill's implications.
The polling suggests the government's low favourability could increase by up to 13 points and by even more among Tory-to-Labour switchers and former Labour voters.
Paul Nowak, the general secretary of the TUC, which commissioned the polling, said the employment rights bill is a vote winner.
Peter McLeod stated: There's a huge number of voters out there that still know little to nothing about this legislation.
Despite significant criticism from Nigel Farage, Labour's proposal shows strong support, especially on harassment prevention, which is a legal duty for employers.
