Employment Rights Bill clears last parliamentary hurdle

The Employment Rights Bill, a significant workers' rights legislation, has cleared its final parliamentary hurdle in the UK. The bill will introduce various provisions, including access to sick pay and paternity leave from the first day of employment, new protections for pregnant women and new mothers, and enhanced job security measures. Despite opposition from some Conservatives, the bill is expected to become law before Christmas, marking a major victory for working people and receiving praise from labor unions and the Trades Union Congress.
