London, Nov 8 (SocialNews.XYZ) The UK's opposition Labour Party was considering allowing millions of their workers to set their own hours under new plans for a "workplace revolution" if leader Jeremy Corbyn came to power after the December 12 general elections, a media report said on Friday.
If Corbyn wins the election, Labour would bring in a new "presumption in favour of flexible working" - under which all staff will get the right to choose their pattern, The Daily Mail report said.
The reforms were announced by Shadow Equalities Minister Dawn Butler, who said: "Labour will deliver a workplace revolution to bring about a step-change in how women are treated at work."
The onus would be on the employer to prove that a job was not suitable for flexible working, according to the part. If they could not do so, they would have to submit to their workers' demands.
Labour was also considering a plan to give workers greater rights to determine their own wages, it was claimed last night.
Laura Pidcock, the party's employment rights spokesman, said: "It is workers, actually, who should be evaluating what their rate of pay is for the skill that they have and the job that they do."
