Labour can use its overhaul of workers’ rights to win over disaffected Tory and Reform voters, the TUC has said, as the government prepares to introduce landmark legislation that will grant new rights to 7 million workers.

Trade union leaders met ministers on Tuesday for final discussions on the employment rights bill before its announcement on Thursday.
