Commenting on the CBI’s view on Brexit published today (Sunday), which rejects a Canada-style deal as bad for Britain, TUC General Secretary Frances O’Grady said:

"A Canada-style Brexit deal would be bad for jobs, bad for public services, and bad for rights at work.

“The government should put all options on the table, including single market membership, which is the best option we see to protect jobs and safeguard workers’ rights."
