                    As part of Labour's upcoming workers' rights bill, Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner said again that the government wants to offer protections for workers on their first day of work. She said that ministers are getting ready to introduce the changes early in the parliamentary term. The package is the main part of Labour's New Deal for Working People, a plan to modernize the UK's employment system, make it safer for workers, and give them more job security. Unions and experts in the labor market have been criticizing it for years.
                </p>

                <p>
                  Rayner says that the government wants to make sure that all workers, no matter how long they have been with the company, have basic protections against unfair treatment. Labour promised to give workers more rights against wrongful termination, better protections for workers on unstable or uncertain contracts, easier access for trade unions to companies, and a better way to enforce laws against unfair employment practices. She stressed that "workers should not be left vulnerable just because they are new to a role." She also said that the changes are meant to make the balance between employee stability and employer flexibility more fair.
                </p>
                <p>
                    The deal "guarantees that UK pharmaceutical exports worth at least £5 billion annually will continue to enter the US without tariffs," said Peter Kyle, the secretary of business and trade. He continued by saying that the plan will promote investment and help maintain highly skilled jobs in the UK's bio sciences sector.

                    Trade unions have mostly backed the government's plans, calling them the most ambitious attempt in decades to improve workers' rights. Union leaders say that industries like retail, hospitality, and social care, where workers leave and come back a lot and job security is still a big problem, need protections from day one. Business groups have responded by working together and being careful. Some companies have expressed concerns about how quickly things are changing, but most have said they are willing to talk as long as the transition is done correctly.
                </p>

                <p>
                    The government hasn't released the final language of the bill yet, but ministers say they are still talking to businesses, unions, and legal experts about it. Rayner has said that the government will try to pass the legislation as soon as possible because many of the reforms are meant to take effect early in the government's term to fix problems in the labor market that have been around for a long time.
                </p>
                <p>
                    The administration says that both businesses that want clear and stable rules across the economy and workers who want stability would benefit from a new framework based on fairness and clarity. Rayner says that the government wants to create a labor market that encourages long-term growth by making working conditions better and giving workers more legal protections.
