The Employment Rights Act 2025 promises much-needed improvements to women’s working lives including:
- improved pregnancy and maternity rights
- enhanced protection from dismissal for women on maternity leave
- improved flexible working rights
- a new duty for large employers to publish equality action plans for tackling gender pay gaps and menopause support
UNISON will fight every step of the way to ensure the entitlements and protections promised by the act are delivered in full.
