That this House congratulates and celebrates the 150th anniversary of the Trades Union Congress (TUC), the world's first TUC being founded on 2 June 1868 at the headquarters of the Manchester Mechanics Institute; commends the dedication of trades unionists across the UK who have collectively contributed to the success and legacy of the TUC furthering the economic, social and political interests of workers; and believes the anniversary is an opportunity to both celebrate the proud history of workers' struggles in the UK and those across the globe and to promote the values and benefits of trades unionism to a new generation of young workers.

That this House notes with deep concern the findings of the recent research report by Middlesex University Business School, Unpaid Britain: wage default in the British labour market, that at least two million workers experience non-payment of wages or holiday pay each year and that those unpaid wages amount to at least £1.3 billion per year and the unpaid holiday pay to at least £1.8 billion per year; further notes that the non-payment of holiday pay was also identified as a serious and widespread problem by the Taylor Review of Modern Working Practices, published in July 2017; supports the Taylor Review's recommendation that HM Revenue and Customs should take responsibility for enforcing holiday pay and statutory sick pay, alongside the minimum wage; further supports the Taylor Review's recommendation that the Government should consider whether non-payment of wages should also be enforced by the state; and calls on the Director of Labour Market Enforcement, Sir David Matcalf, to address these research findings and policy recommendations in his forthcoming strategy for improving enforcement of workplace rights.

That this House supports workers in British Airways Mixed Fleet cabin crew in their current industrial dispute over pay; condemns any company action penalising staff taking industrial action; acknowledges the significant pay package of £6.5 million to the boss of the airline's parent company, International Airlines Group; contrasts that package with reports that the starting basic pay of a member of Mixed Fleet cabin crew is roughly 533 times lower than that figure and thus below the living wage; notes the lack of parity in allowances to cover food between Mixed Fleet cabin crew and pilots; raises concerns over the environmental and passenger safety implications of the wet leasing of Qatar Airways during the period of industrial action; further raises concerns that Qatar Airways has been found in the past to be guilty of systemic workplace sex discrimination, which included female cabin crew being automatically sacked when becoming pregnant; and calls on British Airways to engage in constructive relations with Unite to resolve the dispute.

That this House notes the 300 redundancies announced at Nestlé factories in York, Fawdon, Halifax and Girvan; further notes the announcement that production of the Blue Riband will be transferred to Poland; acknowledges that Nestlé's operation is profitable achieving £21 billion in sales in the first three months of 2017, which was a 0.4 per cent increase over the same period in 2016; condemns the decision to cut jobs being taken by the company after reviewing a cost analysis which was kept private; urges the company to share this cost analysis and any other information which was a factor in the decision-making process, in the public domain as it is in the public interest; and calls on the Government to intervene and work with hon. Members, trade unions GMB and Unite and the company to avert these job losses now and prevent further job losses across Nestlé.

That this House expresses grave concern about the potential closure of Delphi Diesel Systems in Sudbury; urges the company to engage in meaningful consultation with workers at the site; notes that the Sudbury site is the most profitable in the UK, returning profits in the region of £1 million month on month; challenges Delphi Diesel on any business strategy which relies on offshoring as a failure to recruit and retain the levels of skilled workers required; hopes that the rumoured closure of the Sudbury site is not part of a strategy to ultimately pull out of the UK altogether; is therefore worried about the effect that closure will have on the workforce, the local economy and the sustainability on the rest of the UK-based Delphi Diesel operation; and calls on the company to engage in constructive relations with Unite to resolve the dispute.

That this House is appalled by the derisory pay settlement that has been imposed upon staff at the Bank of England; notes that the staff affected are dedicated workers fulfilling a range of functions within the organisation including security and maintenance; expresses concern that this is the second year running that staff have been given a below inflation pay offer; raises concerns that as the pay distribution is at the discretion of the management this means that some staff will not receive a pay rise in 2017 whatsoever; contrasts this with the rising cost of living; highlights the difficulties these workers face in making ends meet on such low wages; sees it as a mark of shame that the iconic symbol of UK financial services is actually snubbing low paid and vulnerable workers in spite of their hard work and dedication to their jobs; and urges the Bank of England to go back to the negotiating table with the trade union, Unite in order to avoid industrial action and engage in meaningful discussion to bring an end to this dispute.
