We'll make sure that work always pays

OUR society is built on a basic promise that hard work will pay off - but under the Tories that contract was broken.

- 

After 14 years of Tory failure, working people increasingly found that their economy, their government and their public services didn't work for them.

Housing prices spiralled out of control and the cost of living became unmanageable, but wages didn't keep up.

The world of work felt more and more precarious and levels of in-work poverty soared.

The Tories then doubled down on their shoddy treatment of working people by attacking trade unions and weakening workers' rights.

That's why it was so important that Labour got rid of the toxic Tory government and started fixing the foundations of our country.

Not only has the Labour government wasted no time tearing up the Tories' disgraceful anti-trade union legislation but it is going further, delivering the greatest upgrade to workers’ rights in a generation.
