Lord Davies just spoke in support of Baroness Lister's amendment to the Employment Rights Bill calling on the Govt. to review the rate of Statutory Sick Pay before the Autumn Budget. "We need to see a higher level of Statutory Sick Pay".

Thank you to Frances O'Grady for co-sponsoring the amendment calling on the Govt. to review the rate of Statutory Sick Pay before the Autumn Budget. "Such a low rate of SSP is a danger to public health" Working people urgently need #SafeSickPay

Thank you Carmen Smith 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺 for making the case for a rise in the rate of Statutory Sick Pay in today's Employment Rights Bill debate. The Government must urgently review the rate of SSP to give working people the security they deserve. #SafeSickPay

"Statutory sick pay is inadequate, ... we need a sick pay system that provides real security" Great to hear Lord Davies argue for an increase in the rate of SSP yesterday, supporting Baroness Lister's amendment for the Govt. to review the rate of SSP before the Autumn Budget.

"I ask your Lordships: do we believe that those people can survive on £3 an hour?" Carmen Smith 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺 calls out the low rate of Statutory Sick Pay, which is forcing working people to choose between looking after their health and paying the bills. We need #SafeSickPay

This excellent opinion piece by Richard Quigley MP is well worth a read. He argues the case for #SafeSickPay, offering his own practical experience of running a small hospitality business. Businesses flourish when you treat workers well and ensure they have decent rights👇

MS is a challenging condition to work with and requires a delicate balancing act for many thousands of people. Well done, MS Society UK and The Work Foundation, for putting this excellent study together - it's great to work with you as fellow advocates for improved #SickPay
