Key issues
- Job security: investment, fair sourcing,
information and consultation rights, outsourcing, temporary and
agency jobs.
- Organisation and recruitment: no to no-go
areas in plants and business parks, organising the supply chain,
new areas.
- Temporary/agency workers: an end to
second-class pay and second-class jobs.
- Pensions: final salary schemes.
- Shorter working time: 35 hours - it's about
time.
- Pay: pay and productivity, tackling low
pay.
- Equalities: best-in-class family-friendly
policies: 52 weeks' maternity leave on full pay (Ford); 10-days
paid paternity leave (Jaguar and Visteon)
- Equal pay
- Eradicating sexual and racial harassment and
discrimination.
