The 2024 Labour Manifesto is now online!
I am genuinely excited by loads of it, especially the green policies and the expansion of workers’ rights, but probably the most important part of it is the stuff aimed at economic growth.
What do you think? Love it? Hate it? Inspired to volunteer? Some more sensible, moderate emotion?
Another potential problem with this policy is that it could end up leading to fewer younger people being taken on in these sort of roles.
If they’ve got to pay them the same amount as someone who is more experienced and would require less training, why would they opt for hiring the younger ones? This is partly the reason the policy is what it is now.
That’s an interesting take on “Young people won’t be exploited as much”.
