May's pledge on workers' rights meaningless, leading barrister warns Labour MPs
Theresa May leaves from the rear entrance of Downing Street today after she said the meaningful vote on Tuesday on her Brexit deal will go ahead
A LEADING barrister has warned Labour MPs that the pledge on workers’ rights that Prime Minister Theresa May made to persuade them to vote for her Brexit plan is meaningless.
Employment law expert Aidan O’Neill QC issued the legal opinion after a number of back-bench Labour MPs publicly stated that they would support the PM’s deal on the basis of the proposal.
The advice was commissioned by the Independent Workers of Great Britain (IWGB) and TSSA unions. Mr O’Neill told the MPs that the proposal is no guarantee that future EU rights will be matched.
