dailyrecord.co.uk:

Scottish Labour will use a Holyrood debate to push the Scottish Government to back its new deal for working people.The policy would see an end to zero-hours contracts and fire and rehire practices.With a general election expected next year, Scottish Labour has tabled an amendment to a Government motion at Holyrood backing the plan, which will go to a vote on Thursday.The party’s economy spokesman Daniel Johnson said: “Workers in Scotland are being failed by this morally bankrupt Tory Government, which has attacked workers’ rights and let real wages fall.“Labour’s bold new deal for working people will undo the Tories’ vandalism, strengthen workers’ rights and make work pay right across the UK.“Today the SNP-Green Government has to make a choice – they can play cynical political games or they can stand up for workers by backing Labour’s plans.”But SNP MSP Kevin Stewart has called on Scottish Labour to instead support the Government’s motion calling for the devolution of employment law.Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.You'll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.All you have to do is click here if you're on mobile, select 'Join Community' and you're in!If you're on a desktop, simply scan the QR code above with your phone and click 'Join Community'.We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.
