Responding to the Chancellor’s speech to the Labour party conference today (Monday), TUC General Secretary Paul Nowak said:

“Rachel Reeves today set out crucial first steps for rebuilding and repairing Britain – after 14 years of Tory chaos and misrule.

“We share her vision for a country where work pays for all and where the proceeds of economic growth are felt in working families’ pockets.

“The government’s Employment Rights Bill can be a game changer in ensuring people have jobs they can build a life on.

“And the Chancellor’s commitment to clamp down on tax dodging and avoidance will help make sure those with the broadest shoulders pay their fair share of tax.”
