Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Steve Witherden (Labour), on Monday, 21 October 2024, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 37 members in total.


Oscar Mayer strikes

That this House acknowledges the strike by hundreds of Oscar Mayer workers in Wrexham, protesting the company’s intention to alter contracts by removing fully paid breaks, eliminating enhanced payments, and ending days off in lieu for working bank holidays, changes which could cost workers up to £3,000 annually, whilst under the threat of fire and rehire tactics; commends the efforts of Unite the Union in advocating for its members and launching a multi-million-pound legal case regarding potential breaches of the Employment Agencies Act 1973; and urges the Government to expedite the implementation of promised legislation banning fire and rehire practices.
