Unite also called for a focus on public ownership.
A union is calling for the King’s Speech to include a plan for steel, binding employment rights and an end to energy “rip-offs”.
Unite said Tuesday’s final legislative programme before the next general election should herald a “positive programme” for public ownership.Unite union general secretary Sharon Graham has listed demands for the King’s Speech Sharon Graham said: “Britain is a two-trillion pound plus economy, and the sixth richest economy in the world.“Unite has been developing a positive programme to address the things that mean most to workers.
“Laws to ensure workers cannot be thrown on the scrapheap through AI, fire and rehire or similar dodgy practices, are urgently needed alongside ways to ensure the workers’ voice is heard through collective bargaining. “We also need to see the public ownership play a role in securing our critical national assets, like steel-making, for the long term, and in putting a stop to the rampant greed that has been allowed to let rip in the energy sector.“Measures that create a secure and positive future for workers and their families, support for this is something which Unite’s own polling bears out.
