New Deal for Workers is a rare thing - a chance for material change for millions of working class voters who gave Labour their vote.
Legacy could be as big as minimum wage, but needs big shift from UK’s low wage employers - with King’s speech this week, how to get this right? 🧵
"If the new government can get these steps right... it will start the re-wiring of the economy needed for greater prosperity and fairness."

Something a bit different this morning - a Sunday Morning Live debate ‘Are we spending too long at work?'. You can guess my side! A pleasure to highlight the potential benefits of #flexibleworking and #fourdayweek. PS the 'fruity language' was not from me 🤣 @Timewise_UK

This Sunday we are going to discuss the new pilot which will give hundreds of workers greater choice over their hours.
We’ll be asking: Should we spend less time at work?

We hear a lot about the 12.5 hr shift pattern in nursing. Whilst it helps 'get work done' in 3 shifts, it is exhausting and puts many people off. So we were fascinated to hear about the 'Any Hours' approach in @LG_NHS , offering a chance to take extra shifts on your terms. 👇
Let’s talk innovation with working pattern in the NHS. We want to spotlight the amazing work of Susanne Chatterley @LG_NHS, who has pioneered a way to fill vacant slots on the roster within the maternity service. Read about ‘Any Hours’ here: timewise.co.uk/article/how-s…
