Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said ‘a red line will be crossed’ if the party U-turns on its previous pledge.
Labour is facing a union backlash over reported plans to water down its package of workers’ rights in the coming weeks.
The party originally promised to bring forward legislation within its first 100 days in government to enact the reforms. “If Labour do not explicitly recommit to what they have already pledged, namely that the New Deal for Workers will be delivered in full within the first 100 days of office, then a red line will be crossed.”
A party spokesperson said: “The New Deal will be a core part of Labour’s offer to the country and we will be campaigning on this ahead of the general election.
