Reform Lancashire County Council victory prompts 'join a union' warning
Briefly

The spokesperson for the Lancashire Association of Trades Union Councils denounced Reform UK for its opposition to workers' rights, such as banning zero-hours contracts and day-one access to sick pay. In contrast, Stephen Atkinson, a prospective leader of Reform UK, defended the party's stance against Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, labeling them discriminatory. Atkinson asserted that hiring should be based solely on performance and merit, rejecting any considerations related to race or personal bias, emphasizing their commitment to a meritocratic approach in employment practices.
A few weeks ago, Reform MPs voted against banning exploitative zero-hours contracts. They voted against day-one access to sick pay. They are not on the side of working people.
Not only do we reject DEI, we completely refuse to adhere to it. DEI, by its nature, is discriminatory and prejudiced.
Reform UK will ensure that hiring practices are based solely on performance and merit-not on the colour of your skin or your personal agenda.
