Ministers have promised at least 20 times to deliver legislation to boost workers' rights - but the long-awaited bill looks set to be absent from the Queen's Speech.
Boris Johnson was accused of "dragging down Britain's workers in a race to the bottom" after it emerged that the promised Employment Bill is not expected to be included in his list of priorities for Parliament.
Policies floated as part of the bill included ensuring workers can keep their tips, more predictable contracts for staff and better protections for women from maternity discrimination.
