Workers' rights bill standoff continues after Lords defeat

The House of Lords defeated the government's proposal on workers' rights, causing a standoff over the Employment Rights Bill. The bill includes key measures such as first-day sick pay and parental leave, banning exploitative contracts, and strengthening flexible working rights. A Conservative proposal to review compensation limits in unfair dismissal cases was backed by peers, leading to concerns about delays in passing the bill and accusations of defying public will.
