Building solidarity, stopping undercutting

A trade union response to the Immigration and Social Security Coordination Bill

Key findings

The government’s plans for immigration post-Brexit would introduce a new form of exploitation and encourage undercutting by ending EU citizens’ right to work and live in the UK without needing a visa. Its proposals would also increase discrimination, lead to further strains on public services and increase shortages in vital jobs.

We need a different approach to immigration that ensures that nobody’s rights at work are undermined and everyone has access to decent public services and skills training.

The hostile environment and scapegoating of migrants for the problems workers are experiencing with low pay, precarious work and austerity must end. Instead, the government must strengthen workers’ rights and their ability to claim them through a union and provide proper investment in public services and skills.
