Jacques Delors did one heck of a job when he showed up at the TUC conference in 1988. Britain was a year into Margaret Thatcher’s third term and the mood on the left was despondent. Organised labour had been weakened by a combination of mass unemployment, a hollowing out of manufacturing, defeat in the miners’ strike and legal curbs on trade union power.
The EU gave us mandatory maternity leave l 48 hours workers time directives and paid holidays. They set minimum standards that the Brexit party and their friends in the Tory party hate

funny how it was the British (Tory) governments that have been fighting against complying with EU social standards all along and made this a key point in their Brexit argument. You really think WorkersRights will be strengthened leaving the EU? Unbelievable
Have EU their own Margaret Thatcher?
It is compared to the intentions of self serving corporate puppets like Johnson, Farage, Gove. EU's record on worker's rights stands up to scrutiny & has lead the way in areas like flexible working, working hours, etc. I would expect to read this in Daily Telegraph or Daily Mail.
EU doesn't stop us increasing workers rights. 'Merely' decreasing.
Yes I'm sure we'll all have far more rights under Johnson, Raab, Patel and co 🙄
Neither are Brexiteers. I know who I'd sooner trust.
That makes sense
