Theresa May focuses on workers' rights as she relaunches her premiership

The Prime Minister aims to drive the domestic agenda by advocating for more worker rights in the gig economy. She envisions a high wage, high skill economy, requiring investment in good work. A report suggests classifying some workers as dependent contractors to provide benefits like holiday and sick pay. It also recommends firms pay National Insurance for these workers. The report stops short of banning zero-hour contracts but suggests workers request fixed hours. Labour and unions criticize the report for not going far enough, emphasizing the need for better enforcement of existing laws. The Prime Minister seeks political support to implement these reforms, hoping to strengthen her leadership amid economic challenges.
