Labour should match employees’ entitlements to a string of workplace benefits, including sick pay and parental leave, for millions of self-employed people across the UK to help it win the next election, according to a new report.
The Fabian Society, a left-of-centre thinktank, has also proposed giving self-employed people the same rights as employees (who have long had better protections) on health and safety, discrimination and whistleblowing.
