Extremely pleased to be appointed to the government's Industrial Strategy Council to ensure workers and their unions have a strong voice in the mission for better growth and jobs. (And gutted to be missing the first meeting due to COVID!)

Stephen Phipson also talks about how the most important thing employers are worried about is recruitment/retention of skilled staff& skill shortages are one of the key challenges. In addition to training/upskilling we need to address workers leaving the labour market due to bad working conditions
Stephen Phipson, of manufacturers' trade body Make UK, tells #TUCdecentwork event 85 per cent of members fully support government employment rights changes. Big challenge for them is shortage of skilled workers. "We are seeing lots of big projects disappearing from this country because of that."

TUC's @kategobell.bsky.social says UK employers invest half of European counterparts in skills. "If your workers are too cheap, you are much less likely to invest in their skills." So employment reforms are a "key part" of addressing that challenge.

School support staff are at the core of the classroom, but for too long their work hasn’t been properly recognised or rewarded. 📚
The School Support Staff Negotiating Body is our chance to change that, and value these professionals.
