Well that couldn't be more wrong if it tried. Most EU countries have more paid holidays/bank holiday days than the UK and sick pay is not set by the EU but by each country by its own accord. Even The Telegraph is onboard with that [Link] Your link just talks about sick pay. You are missing the point anyway, it's in reference to Lammy's tweet ("EU red tape") which says rights will be lost on leaving EU when UK sets the rules anyway. If it's set by each country then why do we need the EU then? That's the point. Edited by Penge Eagle (19 Dec 2017 12.08am)

We signed up to the Social Charter which gives civil rights re: health, employment, etc, which we abide by out of trust and goodwill but when we Leave that sense of moral collective responsibility will go with it. Be of no doubt that the workers will suffer here more under a non-EU aligned Government than under one that is.

Lammy: "Ah, but this EU red tape you complain about means we have workers' rights in place." Brexiteers: "Each country sets its own laws on this and has nothing to do with the EU. In fact, the UK exceeds all of the EU minimum requirements on workers' rights." Lammy: <silent> Who has said "workers will suffer here more under a non-EU aligned Government", Kermit? More project fear! Edited by Penge Eagle (19 Dec 2017 9.58am)

I have always been clear in my mind that the UK citizens will lose their rights under the social charter. I don't see why people think the tories would replace them intact. I would expect things to return to before e.g 2 weeks + public holidays. I remember changing jobs just to get a decent break.

As I said - we signed up to the Social Chapter which is why the bold line is true....as it stands. We will not need to adhere to it once we Leave so the 'minimum requirement' gear could quite easily be put into reverse with no comeback from the EU. Unlike right now.

If it is not replaced as is, and I can't see employers and business wanting it, then the situation will revert to what it was before the social charter and other EU law re: workers rights. The UK will not be in the EU and therefore citizens will lose their EU benefits.

No evidence for this assumption at all. Political history tells us that Tories undermine worker's rights. In olde worlde English the term for ' a robber' was funnily enough 'a tory' Portillo and allies fought strongly against the minimum wage when he was a darling of The Party and plenty of Conservatives too against signing up to something as responsible as The Social Chapter. It's just in their nature to help those at the top of the pile more than those nearer the bottom. Then you you have the undermining and decrease in relative terms of funding for health and education when The Blues are in no.10. The future is not bright without our Euro directives and the country being run by a powerful elite with nothing to rein in their excesses. Edited by Kermit8 (19 Dec 2017 10.57am)

It's pure speculation and fear mongering that we MIGHT put it all into reverse. I cannot see any evidence this will happen.
