Royal College of Nursing responds to laying of the Employment Rights Bill
RCN General Secretary and Chief Executive, Professor Nicola Ranger, said: “Today’s bill marks a historic moment for our female-dominated profession, paving the way for the biggest advance in workers’ rights in a generation. A fair pay agreement in social care, enshrined in law, and a new body to root out care worker exploitation are measures the RCN has long been calling for. Raising pay, rights and employment standards in the sector is now a step closer to reality."
