We need more hiring, not more firing

09.05.12

After a drubbing in last week’s local elections, and with millions of people unemployed, we might have expected this Government to come up with some ideas to get people back into work.

But instead, in today’s Queen’s Speech, the Tories and Lib Dems have put forward a collection of policies to make it easier for employers to sack people.

Will you sign our letter to David Cameron and Vince Cable telling them they’ve got it wrong?

http://www.unionstogether.org.uk/hiringnotfiring

Yesterday, Cameron said he was listening. But today’s announcement shows he’s not listening to the concerns of ordinary people.

They’ve already sneaked changes through a Parliamentary Committee which mean people have no legal protection against unfair dismissal until they’ve been with an employer for two whole years. That’s millions of people at risk of being put out of work out of the blue – they can be sacked on dodgy grounds with no redundancy pay, no compensation, nothing.

And now they’re announcing plans to make it even harder for employees to go to an Employment Tribunal if they think they’ve been treated unfairly at work – with threats of more hoops to jump through, higher fees to pay, and the removal of lay representatives on tribunal panels.

Making jobs less secure is not a path out of the recession. We need people in good, secure jobs, spending in the local economy - not more people on the dole, and millions more saving instead of spending, as they are worried about whether their job is safe.

Sign our letter to Cameron and Cable and let them know we need a plan to create jobs, not more ways to put people out of work.

Our rights at work matter – let’s take a stand together.

Ed Miliband’s response to George Osborne’s budget

21.03.12

Mr Deputy Speaker.

The Chancellor spoke for an hour.

But there was one phrase that did not pass his lips.

One claim he has abandoned.

We’re all in this together.

And it’s no wonder.

Because after today’s Budget:

Millions will be paying more so that millionaires can pay less.

A year ago the Chancellor said in his Budget speech:

“Now would not be the right time to remove [the 50p tax rate] when we are asking others in our society on much lower incomes to make sacrifices...”

Well that is exactly what he has done today.

Tax credits cut

Child Benefit taken away.

And fuel duty up

And what has he chosen to make a priority today?

For Britain’s millionaires, a massive income tax cut each and every year.

The fairness test for this Budget was whether the Chancellor used every penny he could to help middle income families that are squeezed.

He has failed that test.

Anyone who listened to the Chancellor will be asking the same question:

What planet are he and the Prime Minister living on?

Doesn’t he know:

1 million young people out of work.

50 businesses going bust every day

A cost of living crisis for families.

They promised change, but things have got worse not better.

What did he promise us in last year’s Budget?

He said he would, and I quote:

“put fuel in the tank of the British economy”.

He promised growth of 2.5% in 2012.

But today tells us it will be just 0.8%.

Growth down last year.

Growth down this year.

Growth down next year.

Every time he comes to the House he offers a different excuse but the reality is:

His plan has failed.

Last year he told us unemployment would peak in 2011 and what has he delivered?

We’re into 2012, and unemployment is rising month upon month upon month.

His plan has failed.

He promised us last year the deficit would be gone by the end of this parliament.

But he is borrowing £150 billion more than he said he would.

He has failed.

And in the face of failure, what does he offer?

Not a change in economic strategy.

Not a guarantee of jobs for the young unemployed.

Not targeting every penny he could at working families.

No.

The driving ambition of this Budget, and this Chancellor, is to deliver a tax cut for people earning over £150,000 a year.

There are 30 million taxpayers in this country.

This policy will do absolutely nothing for 29 million, 700,000 of them.

How can the priority for our country be an income tax cut for the richest 1%, at a time when the squeezed middle are facing rising petrol prices, higher energy bills, tax credits and child benefit being cut?

Instead, he could have reversed his cuts to tax credits

He could have done something for pensioners.

He could have done more to undo the damage from his reckless child benefit change.

But he claims he can’t afford it.

Let me tell him, every time in the future he tries to justify an unfair decision by saying times are tough, we’ll remind him:

He’s the man who chose to spend millions of pounds on those who need it least.

Wrong choices.

Wrong priorities.

Wrong values.

Out of touch.

Same old Tories.

And let’s come to his claims on stamp duty.

There are 300,000 people benefiting each and every year from his top rate tax cut.

But there are just 4,000 houses sold each year for more than £2 million.

So 99% of those who gain from his millionaires tax cut will be totally unaffected by his rise in stamp duty, and get a massive windfall from this Chancellor.

The Chancellor didn’t tell us what this meant in pounds and pence, so let me read out the figures just so there is no doubt.

There are 14,000 people earning over a million pounds in Britain.

The Chancellor’s decision today means that each of them will get a tax cut.

Not of a thousand pounds.

Not of five thousand pounds.

Not of ten thousand pounds.

No.

A pay rise of over £40,000.

Not just for this year.

But every year.

That is this Chancellor’s priority – giving 14,000 millionaires over £40,000 each.

And what happens to families who earn in one year half what the Chancellor has so casually given away to the richest in the last hour?

Families on £20,000 a year – the nurse, the lorry driver.

Even after the personal allowance change, they’re not going to be better off, they are going to be worse off.

Putting aside the VAT rise.

And all the other tax rises that have already happened.

From this April alone they will be a further £253 a year worse off.

All he is doing for ordinary families is giving with one hand and taking far more away with the other.

It’s a millionaires budget that squeezes the middle.

Wrong choices.

Wrong priorities.

Wrong values.

Out of touch.

Same old Tories.

Under his tax cut, a banker earning five million pounds will get an extra £240,000 a year.

Let’s call this what it really is:

The Government’s very own bankers bonus.

Presumably he wants us to believe that the £240,000 tax cut is necessary to make them work harder.

And it’s one rule for them, and another for everyone else.

On the very day his millionaires’ tax cut kicks in, this Chancellor will be telling a family working for sixteen hours on the minimum wage that if they don’t work more hours they will lose nearly £4,000 in tax credits.

It tells you everything you need to know about the values of this Chancellor and this Prime Minister.

The poor will only work harder by making them poorer.

And the rich will only work harder by making them richer.

Wrong choices.

Wrong priorities.

Wrong values.

Out of touch.

Same old Tories.

While everybody else is squeezed, what’s the Chancellor’s priority?

A massive tax cut for his Christmas card list.

And what about the hapless accomplice to all this, the Deputy Prime Minister.

Only the Liberal Democrats could be dumb enough to think that a George Osborne budget is a Robin Hood budget.

Calamity Clegg strikes again.

This is what he said just a few months ago about the 50p rate:

"I do not believe that the priority at a time like...[this]...is to give a tax cut to a tiny, tiny number of people who are much, much better off than anybody else."

The party that once followed Lloyd George is now reduced to following George Osborne.

The party that delivered the people’s budget of 1909 supporting the millionaire’s budget of 2012.

They should be ashamed.

For all the talk, all the briefing, the Deputy Prime Minister has done exactly what he’s done on every big issue, from tuition fees to the betrayal on the NHS.

Rolled over and said ‘yes Prime Minister’.

The truth is that for ordinary families, it’s hurting but it’s not working.

And we know why.

Because this Government has been cutting too far and too fast.

What did the Chancellor say in August last year about America’s more balanced deficit plan:

“Those who spent the whole of the past year telling us to follow the American example ... need to answer this simple question: why has the US economy grown more slowly than the UK economy....”

Mr Deputy Speaker, the numbers are in.

And the Chancellor is plain wrong.

The US economy grew at 1.7% last year, twice the rate of ours.

This Government have run out of excuses.

It’s their mistakes which are damaging our future.

It’s the failure of their plan.

Today we heard about more schemes for growth from the Chancellor.

But why should we believe it?

Because every scheme he has put forward so far has failed.

What was the big idea of his first Budget?

The national insurance holiday.

Not a word about it today.

And it’s no wonder.

He told us back then it would help 400,000 firms.

Now we know he’s missed his target by 97%.

This Chancellor’s plan has failed.

What about the centrepiece of last year’s budget?

The Budget for Growth.

This is my favourite.

The Business Growth Fund.

Six regional offices opened.

And how many businesses benefitting?

Six.

One for each office.

The Chancellor’s plan has failed.

We needed a plan for growth that will work.

We needed a guarantee on youth jobs.

We needed a British investment bank to help small businesses.

But on growth, on jobs, on how we pay our way in the world, this Chancellor has failed.

On the proposal on film tax relief, let me say this:

It is great to support the great British success stories like Downton Abbey.

A tale of a group of out of touch millionaires.

Who act like they’re born to rule.

But turn out to be no good at it.

Sound familiar Mr Deputy Speaker?

We all know it’s a costume drama.

They think it’s a fly on the wall documentary.

This Budget will be remembered for his failure on growth and jobs and the top rate tax cut.

This isn’t just a bad policy, or a misjudgement.

It destroys the claim the Prime Minister made about who he was and what he believed.

What did he personally say in his aims and values document, sent out to every Conservative Party member.

“The right test for our policies is how they help the most disadvantaged in society, not the rich”.

It was called Built to Last.

That was his test.

A test this Budget fails spectacularly.

It’s the death knell of his project.

His compassionate Conservatism.

He and the Chancellor have shown their true colours.

They promised change.

But they have failed on growth, on jobs, on borrowing, on fairness.

Unfair. Out of touch.

For the few, not the many.

An unfair Budget built on economic failure.

An unfair Budget from the same old Tories.

Government freeze minimum wage for young people

19.03.12

Ian Murray MP, Labour's Shadow Business Minister, commenting on today’s National Minimum Wage announcement, said:

“Youth unemployment is at the highest rate since records began, with over a million young people unable to find work. So it is disappointing that the only response from this out of touch Government to the job crisis facing our young people is to impose a real terms cut to their wages.

“This is the first time that the development rate for young people will not rise. The Low Pay Commission's recommendation represents a vote of no-confidence in the Government’s handling of the economy and the prospects for recovery.

“If the Tory-led Government was serious about tackling youth unemployment they would back Labour’s Real Jobs Guarantee by repeating the bank bonus tax and using the money raised to help create 100,000 jobs for young people, which they would be required to take up. We have also called on the government to use public procurement to boost apprenticeship opportunities, but they have failed to do so.”

We all lost out yesterday

14.03.12

Yesterday, this Government pushed through a vote in a Committee of the House of Commons that will take away important rights at work from anyone who's been in their job less than two years, or anyone who might change jobs or start a new one in the future.

You can read the text of the debate here.

They have changed the rules, so that employees no longer have protection from being unfairly sacked until they’ve been in their job for two years. At the moment, those rights kick in when you’ve been in a job for a year.

The Government claims that this move will increase jobs, but there is simply no evidence to back this up. The Chief Economist at the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development was quoted by one of the MPs in the debate. He said:

“If you look at the evidence on unfair dismissal, I mean there isn’t actually anything to suggest that watering down those rights would create any more jobs and indeed the job insecurity it would create would actually be bad for the economy and businesses.”

At the moment there are 3 million people who have been in their job more than one year, but less than two. Thanks to this Government, they are no longer protected from being sacked unfairly. That’s an awful lot of people who are losing this important right.

But although it is 3 million people who are currently losing that right, in reality any of us who will ever start a new job are losing out too. Trends show that people are increasingly likely to change jobs regularly over the course of their careers – if protection only kicks in after 2 years, then many people will spend a high proportion of their lives without the job security that is so important. Important to them, but also to the economy.

As Citizens Advice have said:

“Doubling the qualifying time for legal protection against unfair dismissal to two years will make the jobs of three million workers even more insecure than they are already. It’s nothing short of a charter for rogue employers.”

At the Committee yesterday, Labour MPs argued strongly against this right being taken away. Many Labour MPs came along to speak, even though they don’t have a vote on the Committee, because they wanted to have their say. But the Lib Dems and the Conservatives have an inbuilt majority, and the rule change was passed.

Before it becomes law, this measure has to be approved by the House of Commons, but there won’t be a debate, and given the Tory and Lib Dem majority in Parliament it’ll be almost impossible to stop.

This just goes to show the real agenda of this Government – Tories and Lib Dems alike. They’re actually using unemployment, caused by their failed economic gamble, as an excuse to attack the rights at work that ordinary people rely on. 3 million people are losing their job security right now – and no doubt that’s just the beginning of what this Government has in store.

The rights we take for granted, that we rely on, are in danger – it’s up to us to build a strong campaign to defend every one of them.

 

MPs who voted to remove protection from being unfairly sacked from 3 million people:

Aidan Burley, Conservative, MP for Cannock Chase

Helen Grant, Conservative, MP for Maidstone and the Weald

Sam Gyimah, Conservative, MP for East Surry

Norman Lamb, Lib Dem, MP for North Norfolk

Stephen McPartland, Conservative, MP for Stevenage

Tessa Munt, Lib Dem, MP for Wells

Sarah Newton, Conservative, MP for Truro and Falmouth

Dr Daniel Poulter, Conservative, MP for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich

Craig Whittaker, Conservative, MP for Calder Valley

Jeremy Wright, Conservative, MP for Kenilworth and Southam

 

MPs who voted against scrapping this important workplace right:

Michael Meacher, Labour, MP for Oldham West and Royton

Jessica Morden, Labour, MP for Newport East

Paul Murphy, Labour, MP for Torfaen

Ian Murray, Labour, MP for Edinburgh South

Chris Ruane, Labour, MP for Vale of Clwyd

Andrew Smith, Labour, MP for Oxford East

Dave Watts, Labour, MP for St Helens North

Government making it easier to sack people unfairly

13.03.12

Yet again this Tory-led government is proving that they have no real plans for tackling the unemployment crisis. Not only that but the results of implementing such legislation could result in more people being out of work, as 3 million people lose their rights on job security.

 

The Government is trying to pass legislation today to increase the qualifying period for unfair dismissal from one to two years. They claim that this is needed to tackle unemployment & make it easier for business to employ people.

 

The last Labour Government reduced the qualifying period for claiming “unfair dismissal” in 1999 from 2years to a year. There is absolutely no evidence that this reduced employment levels or that a shorter qualifying period has led to a loss of jobs or constrained employers’ recruitment decisions. The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills’ October 2011 Small Business Barometer report found that only 6% of small business owners cited regulation as their main obstacle to growth.

 

This is yet more evidence that this Government has no real plans for tackling the unemployment crisis. Taking away the employment rights of low paid and vulnerable employees is not a replacement for a proper strategy for economic growth.

Tory true colours

03.02.12

This week we’ve seen the Tories’ true colours emerging when it comes to our rights at work.

On Tuesday, David Cameron stood up in the House of Commons, and asked his MPs what we got in return for Britain signing up to the Social Chapter – they obediently chorused “nothing”.

It’s worth taking a moment to remember what some of the rights are that Cameron and his MPs think are worthless. The words “the Social Chapter” don’t really make clear exactly what is at stake here.

The Social Chapter was a part of the Maastricht Treaty that the last Labour Government signed up to, after the Tories had ‘opted out’ for years. It gave workers in Britain new rights at work that they hadn’t had before.

There are dozens of rights and protections at work that we have gained from Britain signing up to the Social Chapter, but these are just three of them:

1. Equal rights for part-time workers. This, for example, means the right for part-time workers to join the pension scheme, and have comparable annual leave allowances. It’s worth pointing out that the vast majority of part-time workers are women.

2. The right to take (unpaid) parental leave. Before the Social Chapter, you could be legally sacked for needing to take time off work to care for sick children, or to deal with a family emergency. One man was sacked for taking time off work to be at the birth of his child.

3. The right to be consulted and informed about redundancies and restructures at work. At a time of high unemployment, with the public sector and so many companies and organisations shedding jobs, these protections are more important than ever.

Please join us in sending a message to Cameron that these rights are not worthless – they are ours, and we are going to defend them.

Send Cameron an email now.

Our rights at work are not worth “nothing”

01.02.12

Yesterday, in Parliament, David Cameron made clear the contempt he has for our rights at work.

David Cameron stood up in the House of Commons, and asked his MPs what we got in return for Britain signing up to the Social Chapter – they obediently chorused “nothing”.

The Social Chapter is an EU agreement to "promote improved working conditions and an improved standard of living for workers".

It’s because of the Social Chapter that workers in part-time jobs are entitled to the same rights at work as their full-time colleagues. It’s thanks to the Social Chapter that it’s illegal to sack a parent for needing to take a day off to care for a sick child. And it’s the Social Chapter that gives workers the right to be properly consulted and informed about redundancies and restructures.

But Cameron and his MPs think these rights are worth ‘nothing’.

Will you help send a message to David Cameron that our rights matter?

http://www.unionstogether.org.uk/notworthnothing

Every day that goes by, it becomes clearer that the rights we rely on are not safe in the hands of Cameron and this government.

They simply don’t understand what life is like for ordinary people who depend on legal protections to make sure they are not treated badly or unfairly at work.

Last week we launched our new campaign to defend each and every one of our rights at work – and that’s why we want you to take 2 minutes to send David Cameron an email to tell him that the Social Chapter didn’t give us ‘nothing’, it gave us our rights at work – and we’re going to fight for them.

Your rights at work are worth fighting for – together, let’s send Cameron a message.

Your rights at work: worth fighting for

25.01.12

Today, we are launching a new campaign to defend your rights at work - and I wanted to make sure you are one of the first people to know about it.

Yesterday, a group of Conservative MPs hosted a drinks party in Parliament to unveil a campaign with just one aim - to make it harder for trade unions to speak up for you when you need them.

Yet again, David Cameron’s Tories are proving they’re on the side of big business, and not on the side of ordinary working people.

Our rights at work have been fought for and won over more than a century – and now Cameron’s government is trying to unpick those rights one by one.

But we’re not going to let the Tories turn back the clock - today, we’re starting a campaign to defend each and every one of those rights, and to make sure we have a trade union to back us up when we need them.

http://www.unionstogether.org.uk/worthfightingfor

And we’re starting out with a petition to protect one of the most important rights - the right to go to work without our safety being put at risk, and our lives put in danger.

This month, David Cameron declared that "this coalition has a clear new year's resolution: to kill off the health and safety culture for good".

The Conservatives want to erode the rules that stop our employers cutting corners on something as fundamental as our safety at work.

Last year 171 people were killed at work, and thousands more were injured.

That’s why today, we’re launching a petition to demand that Cameron breaks this ‘new year’s resolution’ to undermine our right to be safe at work.

http://www.unionstogether.org.uk/worthfightingfor

This government are showing us that we can’t take even our most basic rights for granted.

Your rights at work are worth fighting for – join our campaign today.

Local Labour Parties are backing public sector workers on November 30

29.11.11

Dozens of constituency Labour Parties have declared their support for millions of public sector workers in their campaign for fair pensions, and are backing the day of action tomorrow (November 30th). Across the country tomorrow, Labour Party activists will be out campaigning together with local union members, to oppose this government's unfair squeeze on our public servants, and to call for fair pensions for everybody.

(If your CLP does not appear, but you have voted to support the Fair Pensions statement, you can add your name here: http://www.unionstogether.org.uk/fairpension)

Everyone deserves a fair pension, and is entitled to security and dignity in retirement.

That’s why we’re backing public sector workers in their campaign against the government’s unfair triple attack on public sector pensions, and that’s why we’re backing the day of action on November 30th.

If the government get their way, ordinary working people struggling to balance the books after a pay freeze and with the cost of living rising, will have to pay more and work longer for a pension that’s worth less. That is not a fair deal.

We want everybody to be able to pay into a fair pension for their retirement. That’s why we want a fair deal on pensions for public sector workers, why we want to see government action to make pensions better and fairer in the private sector too, and why we oppose the government’s unfair changes to the state pension age.

We’re supporting fair pensions for everybody.

Send George Osborne a message: it’s time to take action on jobs

25.11.11

Last week, it was announced that unemployment has gone up again – with youth unemployment at a record high.

That day, we launched a new campaign – to tell the real stories behind the headlines, and try to make Osborne and Cameron realise how many people are suffering at a result of their failed economic gamble.

We were overwhelmed with the response. Hundreds of people got in touch to tell us about how they are being personally affected by this jobs crisis.

People like Lyn, whose husband’s job in the private sector is at risk because of this Government’s austerity drive. She said: “My husband designs electronic equipment bought by the NHS. His job is under threat because of cuts to the NHS.”

Next week, Chancellor George Osborne makes his Autumn Statement about the economic situation. We want to send him a message that it’s time to abandon his reckless gamble with the economy, and start taking action on jobs. Will you join us?

http://www.unionstogether.org.uk/jobscrisis-action

We’ve put some of your jobs crisis stories on a map, so you can see the effect that this Government’s economic policies are having on real people across the country.

People like Kenneth, who works in the construction industry, and wrote to tell us that this is the first time he’s been out of work. He said: “I’ve never seen so many in the industry laid off due to cancellation of major construction projects.”

And we heard from Eileen, a secondary school teacher, who worried about what the future will hold for her pupils if the government doesn’t act to help young people find jobs: “I grieve for the students leaving education/ training who will find themselves unemployed and without hope.”

To make matters worse, this week the Government announced a package of measures to make it easier to sack people. In the midst of an unemployment crisis, their response is to help employers put people out of work.

 

And although the extent of this jobs crisis has forced the government to announce their youth jobs subsidy this morning, their new scheme is worth just a fraction of the Future Jobs Fund they scrapped a year ago – and it won’t even come into force until the middle of next year. This token effort is too little, too late – and it’s looking increasingly likely that they’re going to squeeze family incomes to pay for it, by freezing payments like tax credits, which help low and middle income families make ends meet.

It’s time for Osborne and Cameron to realise that their austerity programme is just not working – it’s putting people out of work. The Tories like to talk tough about paying down the deficit, but by putting tens of thousands of people on the dole - claiming benefits instead of paying taxes - their sums simply don’t add up. They're making it harder to get the deficit down.

Join us today, and call on Osborne to stop his risky economic gamble, and start taking action to tackle this jobs crisis.

http://www.unionstogether.org.uk/jobscrisis-action

Thanks

Helen

PS. If you are affected by this jobs crisis, add your story here: http://www.unionstogether.org.uk/jobscrisis. Or if you know someone affected, why not forward them this email and ask them to share their story too.
