Tories urged not to betray working women by ditching employment bill

Fears flagship bill will be left out of Queen's speech despite promise to fight sexual harassment and pregnancy discrimination

A coalition of campaigners has urged the UK government not to betray working women by ditching its promises to clamp down on sexual harassment and workplace pregnancy discrimination in its flagship employment bill.

Before the Queen's speech on Tuesday, campaigners are calling on the government to push forward with the bill, which was promised in 2019 and promoted as the way to protect UK workers after Britain left the EU.
