Significant provisions include \"day-one rights\" to sick pay and unfair dismissal protections, along with a Fair Pay Agreement for social care and the restoration of national collective bargaining for school support staff. The bill also targets exploitative practices, such as “fire and rehire” and zero-hour contracts. Union reactions have been broadly supportive, highlighting its potential for meaningful change while urging further steps. The bill is expected to receive Royal Assent by May 2025, with many provisions requiring secondary legislation to take effect in 2026. This timeline allows for ongoing consultations, giving unions a voice in refining the legislation to meet workers’ needs comprehensively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read on: \u003Ca contenteditable=\"false\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcrm.etui.org\u002Fcivicrm\u002Fmailing\u002Furl?u=83802&qid=3706688\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcrm.etui.org\u002Fcivicrm\u002Fmailing\u002Furl?u=83802&qid=3706688\">in English…\u003C\u002Fa> Read on: \u003Ca contenteditable=\"false\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcrm.etui.org\u002Fcivicrm\u002Fmailing\u002Furl?u=83803&qid=3706688\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcrm.etui.org\u002Fcivicrm\u002Fmailing\u002Furl?u=83803&qid=3706688\">in English (2)…\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For more information, please contact Paul de Beer or Oana Ciuca, De Burcht (Scientific Bureau for the Dutch Trade Union Movement) \u003Ca href=\"mailto:p.t.debeer@uva.nl\">p.t.debeer@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fa> or the Head of communications at the ETUI, Mehmet Koksal \u003Ca href=\"mailto:mkoksal@etui.org\">mkoksal@etui.org\u003C\u002Fa>.
