Rayner's employment rights overhaul to grant 9m workers the right to sue employers

Angela Rayner's reforms aim to give 9 million UK workers the right to sue for unfair dismissal from day one, significantly enhancing workers' rights.

Critics argue that these proposed changes could empower unions at the expense of business investment, with suggestions that it might lead to a stifling of employment growth.

Rayner emphasized that the reforms seek to create modern workplaces, stating, 'We're replacing a race to the bottom with a race to the top'.

The federation of Small Businesses cautioned that the overhaul could dampen business confidence, warning it risks damaging companies' willingness to hire new staff.
