Andy McDonald – 2020 Comments on Insecure Work

The comments made by Andy McDonald, the Shadow Employment Rights Secretary, on 18 December 2020.

Job insecurity and weak employment rights lead to the exploitation of workers, including key workers who have been on the frontline of the pandemic.

Millions of workers have few rights and those they do have are often ignored because of a lack of enforcement.

This has a devastating impact on those workers, public health, and the wider economy.
